# Oral metastasis of primary testicular choriocarcinoma: A case report and brief review of the literature

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of testicular choriocarcinoma that metastasized to the oral region and discusses the challenges in diagnosing such cases.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare case of oral metastasis from testicular choriocarcinoma and emphasizing diagnostic challenges in patients without prior cancer history.

## Key findings

- Testicular choriocarcinoma can metastasize to the oral region, even in patients without prior cancer history.
- Diagnosis of such metastases requires a multidisciplinary approach due to the rarity and clinical challenges involved.

## Abstract

A wide variety of neoplasms have the potential to metastasize to the oral region. Reported cases of testicular carcinoma are very rare, most of which have poor prognosis. When diagnosing tumors in patients with a previous history of carcinoma, it is important to consider the possibility of metastasis to the oral and maxillofacial region. However, in patients without a history of cancer, establishing the diagnosis represents a clinical challenge and requires multidisciplinary work. In this article, a case of testicular choriocarcinoma in the oral soft tissues is described, and a brief review of the literature is presented.
