Abstract: Oral metastasis from the colon is quite rare with limited reporting and scientific evidence. The most common metastasis from colorectal cancer is to the liver followed by lungs, bones, and other organs. However rare occurrences like metastasis to the oral cavity might worsen the prognosis and treatment outcome. Oral metastatic tumors account only 1% of all the malignant neoplasms of the jaw. In most of the cases metastasis has been reported in the jaw bones compared to soft tissues. Persistent pain and delayed, prolonged healing should raise the question of an underlying lesion. An unusual case of secondary oral metastasis presenting as an ulcero-proliferative growth in left mandibular alveolus from the primary colon adeno carcinoma has been reported.
