Metastatic breast carcinoma presenting with multiple gingival epulides.
A case is reported of a young patient with metastases from the breast presenting as rapidly growing gingival epulides. The initial gingival lesion appeared shortly after a bone scan had given no evidence of dissemination of the diagnosed breast cancer. Two further lesions appeared at different sites within 3 weeks.
