A rare case of metastatic infiltrating duct carcinoma involving gingiva in relation to maxillary left canine-premolar of a 40 year old female is presented. The unilateral gingival enlargement in canine-premolar region was quite unusual. Pertinent history and histological examination revealed that the tumor was a metastatic carcinoma, the primary lesion of which was in the breast. The differential diagnosis of gingival enlargements is discussed in this paper. The resemblance of this mass to an inflammatory hyperplastic condition reflects the need for a detailed case history and examination.
本文报告了一例罕见的转移性浸润性导管癌累及牙龈的病例，患者为一名40岁女性，病变位于上颌左侧尖牙-前磨牙处。尖牙-前磨牙区域的单侧牙龈肿大颇为罕见。相关病史及组织学检查显示，该肿瘤为转移性癌，原发灶位于乳腺。本文讨论了牙龈肿大的鉴别诊断。该肿物与炎症增生性病变的相似性表明，详细的病例史和检查很有必要。
