[Mandibular metastasis revealing thyroid carcinoma. Two cases].
Although thyroid cancer is not the first cause of bone metastases, this diagnosis must be always entertained because when it is found to be the cause of the metastasis, the survival is good. Bone metastases can take on different appearances and thyroid cancer discovered secondarily. We report two cases of mandibular metastases revealing a thyroid cancer and we stress on diagnosis and therapeutic difficulties.
