Double Gingival Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

This article reports a case of gingival metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a 70-year-old Asian patient. The patient presented with a painful, rapidly growing gingival mass that was ultimately diagnosed as a metastasis of HCC. This case highlights the importance of considering metastatic disease as a differential diagnosis when evaluating oral lesions, particularly in patients with a history of cancer. The article also discusses the possible mechanisms and routes of metastasis of HCC to the gingiva, as well as the treatment options for this rare manifestation of HCC.
