If you can do a bootstrap and assuming you know the nid, you can use

    entity_get_controller
<http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/entity_get_controller/7>('node')->resetCache
<http://api.drupal.org/api/search/7/resetCache>(array($node->nid
<http://api.drupal.org/api/search/7/nid>));

or

  cache_clear_all <http://api.drupal.org/api/search/6/cache_clear_all>();

if you're using Drupal 6.
