Abstract
Metastatic tumors to the oral cavity may occur in the jawbones, soft tissues, or salivary glands, but represent less than 1% of all malignant oral lesions. Woman, 53, had a mass in her oral cavity. The patient reported having had breast carcinoma that was treated with chemotherapy and radiation 2 years previously. Oral examination showed a painful mass in the left posterior maxilla (soft palate and alveolar ridge) with yellowish coloration and ulcerative surface. After incisional biopsy, histopathological analysis revealed nests of malignant cells and deposits of eosinophilic and clear cells permeated by ductal structures that suggested the origin was the breast.
