Abstract
Metastatic tumors to the oral region are uncommon and comprise only about 1% of all malignant oral neoplasms.1 Most reported cases involve the jaws rather than the soft tissues.2 Because gingival metastases are unusual, their diagnosis can pose a challenge to both clinicians and pathologists. Clinically, gingival metastatic tumors can closely resemble and easily be mistaken for benign reactive lesions or even a neoplasm, such as a hemangioma.3,4 We report a case of a poorly differentiated bronchogenic adenocarcinoma that metastasized to the gingival soft tissue in a patient with generalized gingival inflammation.
