Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common, primary malignant liver disease that usually metastasizes to the lungs, followed by the abdominal lymph nodes and brain. However, extrahepatic metastasis to the maxillofacial area is uncommon and predominates in the mandible, so HCCs in the maxilla or temporal bone from a primary hepatic lesion are extremely rare. We present a case of HCC in the maxilla and temporal bone in a 52-year-old male, which was first suspected to be a squamous cell carcinoma after computed tomography but was confirmed as a metastasis related to his primary HCC after fine-needle aspiration biopsy followed by immunohistochemical analysis.
肝细胞癌（HCC）是一种常见的原发性肝脏恶性疾病，通常转移至肺部，其次是腹部淋巴结和脑部。然而，HCC向颌面区域的肝外转移并不常见，且以下颌骨为主，因此源于原发性肝脏病变的上颌骨或颞骨HCC极为罕见。我们报告一例52岁男性上颌骨和颞骨的HCC病例，该病例在计算机断层扫描后最初怀疑为鳞状细胞癌，但在细针穿刺活检及免疫组化分析后确诊为与原发性HCC相关的转移瘤。
