4 cases of metastases in the oral cavity are described. They were seen in patients with carcinoma of the renal pelvis, renal carcinoma, breast carcinoma and malignant melanoma. In 3 of the cases, the metastases were situated distally to the canines in the mandible, where Roentgen examination had revealed a radiolucent area, and in the 4th case, in the soft tissue in the upper jaw. The initial symptoms in all 4 cases were swelling, pain or decreased sensitivity. The metastases were diagnosed, on average, 7 years after diagnosis of the primary tumour.
