Mandibular metastasis in a patient with pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
Metastatic tumour spread to the mandible is quite rare. We report a case of distant metastasis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma in the mandibular bone. The patient had pain in his left mandibular premolar-molar area caused by a mandibular metastasis from a previously undiagnosed pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
