ABSTRACT
Las metástasis en cavidad oral son lesiones raras que representanaproximadamente el 1% de todas las neoplasias malignas decavidad oral. Las metástasis orales se localizan en un 80-90%en mandíbula, siendo mas raras en maxilar superior. Las metástasisen tejidos blandos de boca son raras, y es encía donde conmayor frecuencia se localizan las metástasis en tejidos blandosen boca. Los tumores primarios que metastatizan a boca son losmás frecuentes pulmón, mama y riñón. Las metástasis en cavidadoral es como consecuencia de una diseminación a distancia de laenfermedad e indica un mal pronóstico, con una supervivenciacorta. Aquí presentamos un caso clínico de un paciente diagnosticadode adenocarcinoma de esófago que presentó metastasisen hueso maxilar superior izquierdo
Metastases in the oral cavity are rare lesions which representapproximately 1% of all malignant neoplasms in the oral cavity.Oral metastases are located in the mandible 80-90% onaverage, the maxilla location being rarer. Metastases in mouthsoft tissue are also rare, and within these it is on the gumswhere they more frequently occur. Primary tumours whichmetastasize to mouth are most commonly: lung, breast andkidney. Oral cavity metastases appear as a result of distantdisease spreading and show wrong prognosis, with shortsurvival. Here we present a clinical case of a patient diagnosedwith esophagus adenocarcinoma which presented metastasis inupper-left maxillary bone

Metastases in the oral cavity are rare lesions which represent approximately 1% of all malignant neoplasms in the oral cavity. Oral metastases are located in the mandible 80-90% on average, the maxilla location being rarer. Metastases in mouth soft tissue are also rare, and within these it is on the gums where they more frequently occur. Primary tumours which metastasize to mouth are most commonly: lung, breast and kidney. Oral cavity metastases appear as a result of distant disease spreading and show wrong prognosis, with short survival. Here we present a clinical case of a patient diagnosed with esophagus adenocarcinoma which presented metastasis in upper-left maxillary bone.
