RESUMO
The oral cavity is an uncommon site for metastatic tumor cell colonization and is usually evidence of a widespread disease, with an incidence of about 1% of all oral cancers. The jawbones, particularly the mandible, are more frequently affected than the oral soft tissues (2:1). Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix is a rare tumor characterized by a highly aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. The purpose of this report is two-fold: To present a case of metastatic SCC of the uterine cervix to post extraction site in oral cavity, which is the first reported case in the literature, as per our knowledge and to analyze the possible mechanism of metastasis from the lower part of the abdomen to the post-extraction site and to gain additional knowledge in this phenomenon.
