A 58-year-old gentleman presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department having been referred by his dentist with a nonhealing post-extraction socket. Examination revealed an intraoral mass and an associated suspected pathological fracture of the right body of the mandible. He had a background of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. Subsequent biopsy of the mandibular mass confirmed metastatic spread to the mandible, a rare presentation. The patient was managed conservatively given his extensive co-morbidities.

“…Metastatic carcinoma of the mandible is a rare lesion that constitutes <1% of all oral malignancies ( 1 ). The primary tumors from which metastases occur most commonly arise in the breasts, lungs and prostate ( 1 – 3 ), followed by the kidney, thyroid gland, liver, stomach, intestines, testes and bladder ( 1 , 4 – 8 ). Surgeons often have little experience with mandibular metastatic carcinomas, hence, the majority of such tumors are mistakenly considered to be new primary growths until histological examination reveals their true metastatic nature ( 1 , 2 ).…”

Mandibular metastatic carcinoma is a rare lesion that accounts for <1% of all oral malignancies. To provide greater experience in this field, the present study was conducted in which 6 cases of mandibular metastatic carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. The origin of the lesions was the prostate in 2 cases, the lungs in 2 cases, the breast in 1 case and the thyroid gland in 1 case. The clinical and computed tomography features, surgical management and follow-up outcomes were investigated. The study indicated that surgeons should include the suspicion of metastasis in the differential diagnosis for mandibular tumor, particularly in patients who have a history of malignancy. A poor prognosis was associated with the examined patients. To extend the survival time as long as possible, a treatment strategy using multiple therapies, including segmental mandibulectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is recommended.
