A case of metastasis of lung carcinoma to mandibular gingiva in 46 year old man has been presented here. The patient suffered discomfort due to growth in the lower left molar region with occasional hemorrhage and increased mobility of his lower left molars. After extraction of the teeth curettage was performed and histopathological examination revealed similar findings to those found in the lung tumor. This case report emphasizes the need to recognize that the gingival masses similar to benign or inflammatory lesions may represent an initial sign of underlying distant malignant tumors. |
