Metastatic tumours in upper maxillary bone of esophageal adenocarcinoma. A case report.

Metastases in the oral cavity are rare lesions which represent approximately 1% of all malignant neoplasms in the oral cavity. Oral metastases are located in the mandible 80-90% on average, the maxilla location being rarer. Metastases in mouth soft tissue are also rare, and within these it is on the gums where they more frequently occur. Primary tumours which metastasize to mouth are most commonly: lung, breast and kidney. Oral cavity metastases appear as a result of distant disease spreading and show wrong prognosis, with short survival. Here we present a clinical case of a patient diagnosed with esophagus adenocarcinoma which presented metastasis in upper-left maxillary bone.
