Metastatic involvement of oral osseous and soft tissues constitutes nearly 1% of all oral malignancies. However, maxillary involvement is uncommon and this phenomenon is even less likely when the primary source is thyroid. A rare case of papillary thyroid carcinoma metastatic to maxillary right posterior alveolar process and sinus in a 43-year-old woman is described and the spectrum of metastatic oral disease is reviewed. The importance of including metastasis in the differential diagnosis of jaw lesions is also emphasized.
口腔骨组织和软组织的转移瘤约占所有口腔恶性肿瘤的1%。然而，上颌骨受累并不常见，当原发灶为甲状腺时，这种情况更是罕见。本文描述了一例43岁女性乳头状甲状腺癌转移至右上颌后牙槽突和上颌窦的罕见病例，并对转移性口腔疾病的范围进行了综述。同时强调了在颌骨病变鉴别诊断中考虑转移瘤的重要性。
