Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the oral cavity: an unusual case

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to the oral cavity is relatively rare. The oral manifestation of RCC is related to high rates of morbidity and worsening of the clinical prognosis. A 61-year-old male patient with a previous diagnosis of renal cancer was referred to the dental service with a complaint of nodular lesion in the oral cavity. On intraoral examination, an extensive nodular lesion on the gingiva associated with the upper molars was noted. After biopsy, the microscopic examination revealed nests of polygonal cells partitioned by fibrovascular septa in an alveolar arrangement.
