  • Title: Hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis to the maxilla: a rare case.
    Author: Greenstein A, Witherspoon R, Iqbal F, Coleman H.
    Journal: Aust Dent J; 2013 Sep; 58(3):373-5. PubMed ID: 23981222.
    Abstract:
    The manifestation of metastatic malignant disease in the oral cavity can present in a number of ways and may mimic benign conditions. This case reports a rare presentation from a metastasis of a hepatocellular carcinoma that had invaded the attached gingiva of the maxilla and which on initial inspection could have been misdiagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma. With the advent of new classes of drugs to manage this disease it could be expected that this presentation may become more common.
