title: [A case of mandibular metastasis from primary hepatocellular carcinoma].
abstract: A mandibular metastasis which appeared as the first symptom from a hepatocellular carcinoma is reported. Bone metastasis related to hepatocellular carcinoma is relatively infrequent. Even less frequent is the occurrence of a mandibular metastasis as a prior symptom of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case, also, the metastatic lesion was detected as hypervascular mass on a CT scan, thus the nature of lesion was disclosed before a biopsy was performed.
