Metastatic tumors to the oral region are uncommon, and the predominant primary sites are the lung and breast. To our knowledge, only one case of metastatic oral tumor from gallbladder cancer has been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of gingival metastasis from an occult gallbladder cancer.
