Abstract

Metastasis to the oral region is an uncommon characteristic of hepatocellular carcinoma. As such, diagnosis of these malignancies can be challenging due to clinical similarities with benign lesions. This report describes a 70-year-old woman with a rare case of oral metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma that manifested in the anterior maxilla. The diagnosis of hepatitis B- and C-related hepatocellular carcinoma was made one year before presentation to the authors’ clinic. At the time of admission, the patient was undergoing medication with Sorafenib. An erythematous, haemorrhagic, painless lesion exhibited rapid growth in the maxilla over a two-month period. Based on clinical characteristics, the lesion was considered a pyogenic granuloma before pathological examination. After surgical intervention, the healing process in the eight-month follow-up period was uneventful, with no evidence of recurrence. This report highlights the importance of meticulous clinical and pathological evaluations in patients with suspected oral metastatic lesions that may mimic benign conditions.

Özet

Oral bölgeye metastaz hepatosellüler karsinomun nadir bir özelliğidir. Benign lezyonlara klinik benzerlikleri nedeniyle bu malign lezyonların teşhisi zor olabilir. Bu vaka raporunda, hepatosellüler karsinomun nadir görülen anterior maksilla metastazı saptanan 70 yaşında kadın hasta anlatılmıştır. Hepatit B ve C’ye bağlı hepatosellüler karsinom teşhisi, hasta kliniğimize gelmeden bir yıl önce konulmuştur. Başvuru esnasında, hasta Sorafenib tedavisi altındadır. Maksillada görülen eritamatöz, hemorajik, ağrısız lezyon iki aylık süreç içerisinde hızlı büyüme göstermiştir. Lezyon patolojik inceleme öncesinde klinik özelliklere dayanılarak piyojenik granüloma ön tanısıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Cerrahi müdahale sonrasında, iyileşme periyodu sekiz aylık takip boyunca sorunsuz olmuştur ve rekürrensi gösterecek herhangi bir durum saptanmamıştır. Bu raporda, benign durumları taklit eden oral metastatik lezyonlardan şüphelenilen hastalarda titiz klinik ve patolojik değerlendirmelerin önemi vurgulanmaktadır.
