Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent urological malignancies in adults. RCC often metastasizes to other organs, but rarely to the oromaxillofacial region.
Metastatic tumors to the jaws are also unusual. In this report, we present two cases of RCC metastasis to the jaws.
Metastatic RCC is resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so surgery is the primary therapeutic choice. This report describes the diagnostic proceduresutilized and the therapeutic process in the two cases.
The differential diagnosis and treatment methods are discussed.
