“…Although metastasis to the jawbones is uncommon, the most common primary in these cases is from breast cancer 3 . A case of breast carcinoma metastatic to the mandible mimicking the clinical picture of ameloblastoma has been reported 4 . In the current case the breast cancer metastasized to an ameloblastoma, rather than to the mandible itself.…”

“…The differential diagnosis for mandibular metastatic carcinoma includes TMD, ameloblastoma, primary intraosseous squamous carcinoma, and particularly, osteosarcoma ( 2 , 16 , 17 , 20 , 21 ). The past medical history, symptoms, clinical examination, and CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of a patient should be carefully investigated.…”

A retrospective study of six patients with mandibular metastatic carcinoma

et al. 2016

Mandibular metastatic carcinoma is a rare lesion that accounts for <1% of all oral malignancies. To provide greater experience in this field, the present study was conducted in which 6 cases of mandibular metastatic carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. The origin of the lesions was the prostate in 2 cases, the lungs in 2 cases, the breast in 1 case and the thyroid gland in 1 case. The clinical and computed tomography features, surgical management and follow-up outcomes were investigated. The study indicated that surgeons should include the suspicion of metastasis in the differential diagnosis for mandibular tumor, particularly in patients who have a history of malignancy. A poor prognosis was associated with the examined patients. To extend the survival time as long as possible, a treatment strategy using multiple therapies, including segmental mandibulectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is recommended.

“…The jaw bones, especially the mandible, are the most frequently involved colonizing sites [1][2][3]. Though most metastases to the OMF region (OMF metastases) are noted after the diagnosis and treatment of the primary malignancy else-where, about one-third of them are the initial sign of a cancer.…”

Primary tumor prevalence has an impact on the constituent ratio of metastases to the jaw but not on metastatic sites

et al. 2011

This article provides an overview of metastases to jaws (MJ), mainly concerning the differences between American and Chinese patients, and exploring the relationship between the primary tumors' prevalence (PTP) and constituent ratio of MJ. Information concerning of 399 MJ cases in 215 papers, including one new case in our hospital, was subjected to statistic analysis. The main clinical features of MJ, such as constituent ratio of PTP and that of MJ, metastatic sites, treatments, and prognosis were summarized. Breast, lung, kidney, prostate and thyroid (in descending order) were the leading primary sites of MJ. Furthermore, the constituent ratio of MJ was found to be correlated with that of PTP in all subjects including American and Chinese subjects in our study. As to metastatic sites in the mandible, a specific "M" shaped pattern appeared regardless of the tumor type or constituent ratios of MJ were in all subjects. Almost all subjects received traditionally palliative treatments, and the prognosis was quite poor. The PTP had a significant impact on the constituent ratio of MJ. However, it was the properties of the microenvironment rather than characteristics or constituent ratios of tumor cells, that decided the metastatic sites in various tumor subjects.
