• Resumen

  • 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.
