Vascular metastatic renal carcinoma of the maxilla. Report of two cases.
Metastatic lesions of the jaws are unusual and the maxilla is rarely affected. Because of their vascular nature metastases from renal cell carcinoma may be embolized in order to palliate the patient. Two cases of renal carcinoma metastasizing to the maxilla are reported. Management of the condition is reviewed.
