GİNGİVAL METASTASİS FROM THE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCİNOMA OF THE LUNG: A CASE REPORT AND REVİEW OF THE LİTERATURE

Abstract

Metastasis of a lung carcinoma to the gingiva is very uncommon, but it must be considered as a first sign of the primary tumour. Most reported cases involve the jaws rather than the soft tissues. The clinical presentation of gingival metastasis include: rapid growth, pain, swelling, chewing dysfunction, trismus, dysphagia and pathological fracture. However, the final diagnosis is based on the histopathological evaluation. In this case report, a 59 years-old male patient with a gingival metastasis from lung squamous cell carcinoma was presented. Also, the review of 23 case reports of the oral metastasis from lung carcinoma in English literature were demonstrated

SKUAMOZ HÜCRELİ AKCİĞER KARSİNOMUNUN GİNGİVA METASTAZI: VAKA RAPORU VE LİTERATÜR TARAMASI

Abstract

Metastasis of a lung carcinoma to the gingiva is very uncommon, but it must be considered as a first sign of the primary tumour. Most reported cases involve the jaws rather than the soft tissues. The clinical presentation of gingival metastasis include: rapid growth, pain, swelling, chewing dysfunction, trismus, haemorrhagic tendency, paresthesia, dysphagia and pathological fracture. However, the final diagnosis is based on the histopathological evaluation. In this case report, a 59 years-old male patient with a gingival metastasis from lung squamous cell carcinoma was presented. Also, the review of 23 case reports of the oral metastasis from lung carcinoma in English literature were demonstrated.
