title: Secondary Metastasis to the Mandible From Breast Carcinoma -A Rare Case Report.
abstract: Regardless of the rare occurrence of metastatic lesions to the jaw, it should be taken into consideration in the individuals with a history of malignancy. Early detection requires accurate examination, and microscopic evaluation is essential. In this paper we report a case of breast carcinoma to the mandible as female breast cancer is the most frequent metastatic lesion to the mandible and its metastasis is well documented. The patient's medical history revealed that she had undergone mastectomy on the left breast three years ago. As this condition is infrequently described, documentation of new cases will augment the existing knowledge.
