Oral Soft Tissue Metastases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tumors that metastasize to the oral cavity, comprising only about 1% of all oral malignant neoplasms, rarely affect oral soft tissues. The aim of the present case series report is to retrospective study five patients with metastatic tumors to oral soft tissues, retrieved from an institution in southern Taiwan. The age, gender, sites and histological types of the primary tumor, sites of the oral soft tissue metastases, and time of occurrence of metastasis as well as follow-up data of these five cases were analyzed. A dental practitioner, particularly a family dentist, may encounter with patients who have metastatic oral tumors before the primary malignancy from other organs has been identified. Although rare, metastatic tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis of an intraroal malignant neoplasm, particularly if the patient has cancer at another site. ( J. Family Dent. 3(4): 25-30, 2009 )
