[A case of maxillary metastasis from breast cancer].
The literature data relating to the jaws as a metastasis site are examined, along with the basic criteria and main symptomatological pictures observed. A personal and relatively unusual instance of metasis to the upper jaw from breast cancer is presented. The features that led to diagnosis are discussed. Reference is made to the reported theories that justify the rarity of metastasis from breast cancer to the maxillofacial bones.
