Abstract:
Metastatic cervical cancers to the oral cavity are uncommon.
These metastases most commonly present as lesions of the jaw
bones and the mandible. A 57-year-old female patient
complained of mass lesion in her oral cavity after definitive
treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix stage IIIB.
On examination a swelling of 3cm in size was found on the left
side of buccal vestibule adjacent to the lower canine tooth.
Wide local excision was performed, and histopathology results
showed a squamous cell carcinoma of moderate differentiation.
She was continued with segmental mandibulectomy,
supraomohyoid neck dissection and plate-screw reconstruction.
Radiotherapy was given as an adjuvant therapy.
