Metastatic tumours of the oral cavity are uncommon, they may occur in soft tissue as well as in bone in the oropharyngeal region. Owing to its rarity, metastatic tumours of the oral regions are a challenge to diagnose. We report a case of metastasis of the oral cavity, arising from uterine cervix mimicking as mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The metastatic lesions were noticed in the soft tissue of the lower buccal and gingival side of a oral cavity, in a 40-year-old woman with history of an adenosquamous carcinoma of uterine cervix treated by panhysterectomy.
口腔转移性肿瘤并不常见,可发生于口咽区域的软组织及骨骼。由于其罕见性,口腔区域的转移性肿瘤诊断具有挑战性。我们报告一例源自子宫颈的口腔转移瘤,表现为黏液表皮样癌。一名40岁女性,有子宫颈腺鳞癌病史,接受了全子宫切除术,其口腔下颊侧和牙龈侧软组织出现了转移性病变。
