Renal adenocarcinoma metastasis in oral soft tissues: a case report

Oral cavity metastases are rare events and occur mainly in the jaws compared with the soft tissues. A 69-year-old Caucasian woman was referred to the stomatology service complaining of a bleeding oral lesion, which developed 4 months before the appointment. The patient had a renal adenocarcinoma, which was treated with right radical nephrectomy and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy with nivolumab was started 1 month before the lesion appearance. On examination, we observed an erythematous, pediculated mass, about 1.5 cm in diameter, with ulcerative surface on the right buccal mucosa.
