Regional metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary tumour of the liver to the mandible is rare. We present a case of a HCC metastasis to the mandibular condyle with no other extrahepatic metastases sites in a 59-year-old man. Incidental extrahepatic lesions in more uncommon sites should perhaps be investigated as potential areas for metastases, even if metastatic disease has not been found in the more common areas.
肝细胞癌(HCC)是肝脏最常见的原发性肿瘤,其转移至下颌骨十分罕见。我们报告一例59岁男性,其HCC转移至下颌骨髁突,且无其他肝外转移部位。即使在更常见的部位未发现转移性疾病,对于在更不常见部位偶然发现的肝外病变,也或许应将其作为潜在的转移部位进行调查。
