Isolated metastasis of the hepatocellular carcinoma to the mandibular condyle without evidence of any other metastatic sites: a case report

Oral region metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary tumor of the liver, is rare and may occur in the mandibular body region. We present here a rare and interesting case of HCC metastasis to the mandibular condyle without any other extrahepatic metastatic sites of a 59-year-old man. This finding suggest that incidental extrahepatic lesions in the more uncommon sites should be viewed less confidently as potential metastases if metastatic disease in the more common sites is not seen.
