Available online at 2 females) with a mean age of (range, 39e78) years. Nine cases originated from
the liver (%), and one each from the colon (%), pancreas (%), thyroid (%), and kid-
ney (%). The histopathological diagnoses of the metastatic lesions were hepatocellular car-
cinoma in 9 cases, adenocarcinomas in 2 cases (one each from the colon and pancreas), clear
cell carcinoma of the kidney in one case, and follicular thyroid carcinoma in one case. The
gingiva and alveolar mucosa were the major metastatic sites (10 cases, %), followed by
the buccal mucosa (two cases, %), and soft palate (one case, %). Twelve metastatic le-
sions manifested as ulcerated, easy-bleeding, and pyogenic granuloma-like lesions.
Conclusion: The results of our series of 13 cases indicate that intraoral soft tissue metastatic
carcinomas have a male predilection with a male to female ratio of 11:2, are commonly found
in the gingiva and
