Özet
Among the masses seen in the oral cavity, distant metastases constitute 1% of all oral cavity neoplasms. Within this 1%, renal cell carcinoma is the third most common cancer that metastasises to the oral cavity after lung cancer and breast cancer, respectively. Although thyroid, salivary glands, skull base, sinuses, pharynx, tonsils, tongue, lips and skin metastases have been reported in the literature in order of incidence, very few renal cell carcinoma mandibular metastases have been reported in the literature in the last 25 years. A patient referred to our clinic by a dentist presented with swelling on the left side of the face and a 2x3 cm radiolucent lesion in the left mandibular corpus on orthopantomogram. The patient had previously been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and had received chemotherapy followed by targeted therapy for one year. After advanced radiological examinations, the pathology of the biopsy taken under general anaesthesia was reported as renal cell carcinoma. By sharing this experience with clinicians, the aim is to raise awareness that metastasis of an existing malignancy should be considered in the preliminary diagnosis of patients with known malignancies other than in the head and neck region who present with swelling in areas such as the mandible where distant metastasis is uncommon.
