Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the oral cavity - A report of two cases
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide that is etiologically linked to a previous hepatitis B infection. We describe two cases of HCC metastasis to the oral cavity in 60- and 67-year-old male patients. The first case was a diffuse, hard swelling in the left b...

description | Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide that is etiologically linked to a previous hepatitis B infection. We describe two cases of HCC metastasis to the oral cavity in 60- and 67-year-old male patients. The first case was a diffuse, hard swelling in the left body of the mandible. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis was done, and a positive for CK7, CK19, HEPPAR and TTF and a negative for NAPSIN were found to be diagnostic of metastatic HCC. Subsequent examination of the serum alfa- fetoprotein (AFP) level showed a high value of 450 ng/ml, confirmatory of HCC. The second case was a pedunculated, reddish, mobile soft tissue growth on the retromolar region. Its macroscopic and histopathologic features themselves were confirmatory of HCC, and the elicited history was corroborant of metastasis. |
