“…As reported elsewhere, almost all patients developed metastasis in other sites before the oral manifestation. 1,2,19–21 In 2 cases presented herein, the metastatic mass to the oral cavity was the first sign of the primary malignant neoplasm. One of them (case 8) presented to our service with a clinical hypothesis of pyogenic granuloma, because the lesion had an erythematous aspect and was very close to the crown of the second superior molar.…”

Oral cavity is not a common route for metastatic dissemination; metastasis to the oral region may affect soft tissues and jawbones, accounting for approximately 1% of all oral malignant neoplasms. The diagnosis of metastatic lesions to the oral cavity is usually challenging to clinicians and pathologists because of their complexity and rarity. We present a series of 12 metastatic neoplasms to the oral cavity that were detected previously or after the diagnosis of the primary tumor. All tumors were of epithelial origin with primary sites in the esophagus (2 cases), colon (2 cases), bladder, lungs, liver, larynx, skin, uterus, prostate, and adrenal gland, each with one case. The commonest site of the metastatic masses in the oral cavity was the gingiva, frequently presented as a vegetating, friable mass. The clinical examination and histopathologic analysis of the lesions were central to establishing the final diagnosis of the tumors. Metastatic masses to the oral cavity should always be considered as differential diagnosis of benign-looking lesions, especially in patients with previous history of a malignant disease. Biopsy is mandatory to establish an accurate diagnosis.

“…Batson's valveless vertebral venous plexus extends from the skull to the sacrum. Through this pathway tumor emboli could bypass the pulmonary venous system with minimal resistance resulting in metastasis to the oral cavity without any obvious lung lesions [15,16] . Another passage for bypassing lung filtration is through the thoracic lymphatic duct [17,18] .…”

Objectives: Metastatic tumors to the oral cavity are observed extremely rarely, accounting for approximately 1% of all malignant oral lesions. The purpose of our study is to record and analyze the data of the patients who revealed metastasis to the oral cavity. Material and Methods: The records of the patients diagnosed with oral metastases who were admitted to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Departments from 1996 to 2018 were reviewed and analyzed for demographic data and outcomes. Results: Over a period of 22 years (from 1996 to 2018), 22 patients were admitted to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Departments of General Hospital G. Papanikolaou and Theageneion Anticancer Hospital with oral metastasic tumors from a distant primary site. Conclusions: Metastasis to the oral cavity is a very rare finding but it exists so we have to be aware of it and have in mind the possibility of this condition.

“…56 These manifestations are rare in this area, indicate advanced disease progression, 57,58 and imply a poor prognosis when it comes to survival. 57,59 The identification and early management of these can significantly impact the management (thought palliative treatment-seeking maintenance of oral function and management of pain) and patient's quality of life. 57,58…”

This is a narrative literature review, regarding the role of the dental surgeon in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral toxicities related to cancer treatment. A comprehensive and random search was performed for scientific articles published on the subject in question. Articles available in the Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were investigated in Portuguese and English, without a time interval specification.The research was conducted using different combinations of the following keywords: "surgery", "chemotherapy", "hematopoietic stem cell transplantation", "antiresorptive medications", "radiotherapy", "oral toxicities", "dental management" and "cancer patients". Full articles that addressed the theme, published in scientific journals, without restriction as to the methodology were included. However, book chapters and abstracts of meetings were excluded. Results and discussionThe search resulted in 100 selected articles, consisting of 3 systematic reviews with meta-analysis, 9 systematic reviews, 48 literature reviews, 3 randomized clinical trials, 4 prospective cohorts, 12 retrospective cohorts, 5 cross-sectional studies, 2 case-control studies, 5 case reports, 7 expert consensus panels, 1 letter to the editor and 1 qualitative study, published between 1976 and 2020.The articles approach dental care for patients who will be, are being, or have been subjected to surgery and radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck (H&N) cancer, chemotherapy (CT), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and the use of antiresorptive medications. Dental procedures were classified according to the time of treatment: prior, during, or after each therapeutic modality addressed, when applicable.
