Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1992 Apr;21(2):97-8. doi: 10.1016/s0901-5027(05)80541-7.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presenting initially as a bony metastasis is rare. Involvement of maxillofacial bones is even more rare and only 20 cases have been reported. A case of a 65-year-old male patient presenting with metastasis to the mandible from a primary HCC is described.
