The majority of cases of metastatic tumors involve the mandible and some the maxilla but they are considerably lesscommon in intraoral soft tissues. In addition, the primary tumor is known in the majority of cases; although in onethirdof such cases, metastasis is the first clinical manifestation. The most common primary tumors metastasizingto the mouth are lung carcinoma in men and breast carcinoma in women. An oral metastasis implies a serious prognosis,as in the majority of patients there is multiple organ involvement at the time of diagnosis. We present the caseof a 52-year old patient with renal pathology who came to the emergency room due to a rapidly increasing gingivaltumor. With the provisional clinical diagnosis of a pyogenic granuloma,the tumor was excised. Subsequent anatomopathologicalanalysis revealed a tumor metastasis compatible with clear-cell carcinoma, and its renal originwas confirmed by means of immunohistochemical techniques (AU)
