RESUMEN
Although rare, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presenting only to the mandible, gingiva, and nasal cavity in patients subsequently found to have primary HCC has been reported. In the age of transplantation, certain HCC patients may receive treatment with an orthotopic liver transplant. Due to the proclivity of HCC for early micrometastases, immunosuppressive therapy can induce significant metastatic lesions. Nasal mass obstruction, gingival lesions, or facial growths in this population must be considered metastatic until proven otherwise.
