“…The treatment of pathological mandibular fractures associated with malignant or benign neoplasms has to be directed toward the disease process that must be considered the first priority . Pathological fractures are more frequently associated with metastatic tumors or primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (Table ).…”

“…In fact, there were 19 cases of metastatic cancers in the mandibular condyle over the 56-year period between 1956 and 2012 ( Table 1). The primary sites were the breast, prostate, lungs, liver, stomach, and kidneys, while cases of unknown origin were also reported [3,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Given the findings in unknown cases, the primary sites were not considered to be the uterine cervix.…”

a b s t r a c tMetastasis to the mandibular condyle is rare, and such lesions should be identified by both clinical and pathological examinations. We experienced a case of adenocarcinoma occurring in the right mandibular condyle. A 65-year-old female with uterine cervical cancer showed condylar dysfunction. Imaging examinations revealed a tumor with bone destruction and a rapidly progressive course, while pathological examinations suggested metastasis originating from another site. Based on the clinical and pathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with condylar metastasis derived from the uterine cervix, in addition to a recurrence of uterine cervical cancer.

“…Reports of involvement of the mandibular condyle have been extremely rare [3] since the first case report in 1947 [4]. Though clinical symptoms of condylar metastasis vary, depending on the severity of metastatic involvement and properties of the primary cancer, the common symptoms in approximately half of these cases include click, crepitation, deviation during opening, limited opening and lateral movement, tenderness to palpation, and pain in function [5], which are similar to those seen in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) [6].…”

·············································································································································································Metastatic malignancy on the mandibular condyle is a very rare, but life-threatening condition that is frequently misdiagnosed as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and other dental diseases. The researchers report on a patient who was referred with an initial diagnosis of TMD, due to symptoms resembling TMD, such as limited mouth opening with pain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and mandibular deviation during mouth opening. However, the final diagnosis was malignant condylar metastasis. The researchers reviewed available literature on malignant condylar metastatic cases focusing on initially misdiagnosed cases to find additional diagnostic information. The analysis revealed that some aspects of malignant condylar metastasis were overlooked, which frequently led to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. Further understanding of condylar metastasis might lead to early detection of occult primary cancer, possibly preventing further metastasis.
