Sumario:BACKGROUND: Breast carcinoma is a common tumor in women, but it rarely metastasizes to the oral region. Furthermore, metastases to the oral region occur mainly to the maxillary and mandibular bone and rarely to soft tissue. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of breast cancer metastasis to the buccal area. Examination of the right buccal mass of a 66-year-old Japanese woman was suggestive of breast cancer metastasis, and a breast lump was detected. Since receiving hormone-based treatment, the patient has survived more than 5 years and is now in remission. CONCLUSIONS: An oral metastatic lesion may be the first sign of breast carcinoma; oral surgeons should be aware of this possibility.
