Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis to the jaw and soft tissue of the oral cavity is a rare phenomenon. A case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to the mandible is described. A review of the literature showed that only 19 such cases have been reported so far. As severe haemorrhage may occur during surgical removal of these metastases, it is advisable to carry out fine needle aspiration biopsy when metastasis from a hepatocellular carcinoma is suspected.
