Bilateral metastatic breast angiosarcoma to the mandibular gingiva: case report.
Metastases to the jaws and oral soft tissues are rare. A case of breast angiosarcoma metastatic to the mandible and the gingiva, bilaterally in the premolar area is presented. The clinical, histological features and the management of the metastatic oral lesions are reported. Our case emphasises the possibility that in patients with history of breast angiosarcoma, oral inflammatory-like lesions may be an indication of a metastatic deposit.
