Choriocarcinoma metastatic to maxillary gingiva. 1980

J A Nespeca, and J K Sass

A rare metastatic lesion is presented in a 77-year-old black man. The primary disease was fulminating from the time of admission, and diagnosis was established by oral biopsies. The unusual features in this case, in addition to the rarity of the tumor, are the age and race of the patient, the peculiar metastases, and difficulty in identifying a primary site.

D002822	Choriocarcinoma	A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL).	Choriocarcinomas
D005887	Gingival Neoplasms	New abnormal growth of tissue in the GINGIVA.	Epulis, Congenital,Congenital Epulides,Congenital Epulis,Epulides, Congenital,Neoplasms, Gingival,Gingival Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Gingival
