Clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features of a mandibular metastasis from a primary cardiac angiosarcoma.

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor. Distant metastases are common at the time of diagnosis but have never been reported in the jaw. A 45-year-old female patient with primary cardiac angiosarcoma was referred for dental care due to pain in the mandibular alveolar ridge. Oral examination revealed a red-violet lesion that was soft on palpation and had been present for 3 months. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic cardiac angiosarcoma. The patient died of multiple metastases.
