Metastasis from breast cancer presenting as an epulis in the upper gingiva

J Oral Maxillofac Pathol. 2009 Jan;13(1):38-40. doi: 10.4103/0973-029X.48756.

Abstract

Oral metastasis of breast cancer is less common than metastasis to other sites like the lung and liver. Breast cancer can metastasize to the oral cavity, with presentation like a benign oral lesion. We present an interesting case of breast cancer involving the gingiva with sparing of the underlying bone.

Keywords: Breast; duct carcinoma; gingival; metastasis.
