Mandibular metastasis from a primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube.
A case of a metastatic lesion to the mandible from a Fallopian tube carcinoma is reported. The presenting symptoms were altered lip sensation and an intraoral mass. A previous history of pelvic infection was reported, but later a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the left Fallopian tube was made. Metastatic spread also involved other bones and the liver. No previous case of a metastatic lesion to the oral cavity from the Fallopian tubes has been reported.
