title: Carcinoma of the prostate metastatic to the mandibular condyle mimicking a parotid tumor.
abstract: An unusual case of adenocarcinoma of the prostate metastatic to the mandibular condyle that presented clinically as a parotid tumor is reported. Standard radiologic studies may be misleading in such cases, and a high index of suspicion is required for atypical masses in the parotid region.
