Metastatic tumours to the oral cavity from distant organs are uncommon and represent approximately 1 - 3% of all oral malignancies. Such metastases can occur to the bone or to the oral soft tissues. Almost any malignancy from any site is capable of metastasis to the oral cavity and a wide variety of tumours have been reported to spread to the mouth.
Careful examination of the oral cavity and a high degree of clinical suspicion as well as a multidisciplinary approach are suggested.
In this article we present three patients, a female and two males with metastatic tumours to the oral cavity, who were referred to our Department. The primary tumours were invasive lobular breast carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma respectively.
Metastases to the oral cavity are quite uncommon among population. They usually present with symptoms similar to odontogenic infections and benign tumours, causing a delayed diagnosis and treatment.
远处器官转移至口腔的肿瘤并不常见,约占所有口腔恶性肿瘤的1%-3%。这种转移可发生于骨或口腔软组织。几乎任何部位的任何恶性肿瘤都有可能转移至口腔,已有多种肿瘤转移至口腔的报道。
建议对口腔进行仔细检查,保持高度临床怀疑,并采用多学科方法。
本文介绍了三名转诊至我科的患者,一名女性和两名男性,均有口腔转移性肿瘤。原发肿瘤分别为浸润性小叶乳腺癌、胃腺癌和小细胞肺癌。
口腔转移在人群中相当罕见。它们通常表现出与牙源性感染和良性肿瘤相似的症状,导致诊断和治疗延迟。
