[Gingival metastasis of a malignant bronchial carcinoid tumor. Apropos of 1 case].
Secondary tumors of the mouth are rare and especially seated on the maxillaries. Metastasis to the soft tissues of the mouth, especially of cancers situated far from ORL and buccal areas are exceptional. The authors report an observation of a bronchial carcinoïd tumor with metastasis to the gums in a 24-year old man. The rapidity of the evolution of the tumor, the precocity and the very exceptional site of the metastasis as well as certain particularities of the histological pattern of the primitive bronchial tumor, once again states the problem of the confines with the Oat-Cell Carcinomas.
