title: [Mandibular condyle metastasis : report of three cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Three cases of mandibular condyle metastasis of particular interest are reported: -- In two out of the three cases they were detected early enough for the primary tumour to be diagnosed; -- they all presented with articular symptoms; -- all three were treated surgically by excision of the condyles. Diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination, a rare event when mandibular metastasis are concerned, these usually being diagnosed after the primary tumour and then irradiated without histological proof. Primary tumours were respectively bronchial, pancreatic, and mammary.
