Abstract
Distant metastasis (DM) from oral cancer is not common but remains a substantial problem. Brain metastasis from oral cancer is extremely rare and presents with an unusual clinical picture. The prognosis for patients with DM from oral cancer will improve with the development of various targeted therapies. Therefore, the management of brain metastasis from oral cancer will be increasingly encountered by oral surgeons.
Here, we present a case of a patient with oral cancer with brain metastasis. The proper treatment of brain metastasis from oral cancer may improve QOL in some cases, so early detection is important.
