Niger J Clin Pract. 2020 Oct;23(10):1483-1486. doi: 10.4103/njcp.njcp_55_19.

Abstract

Metastatic lesions represent approximately 1% of all the intraoral lesions. They most commonly originate from lung and breast carcinomas, while the third most common source is the renal cell carcinoma. In this paper, we present the rare case of metastases of renal cell carcinoma in the mandibular gingiva of a 53-year-old male patient.

Keywords: Gingiva; metastasis; renal cell carcinoma.
