Metastatic Intestinal Adenocarcinoma: A Rare Case Involving the Mandible

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Metastatic intestinal adenocarcinoma involving the mandible is rare, posing diagnostic challenges because of its unusual presentation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing mass in the right mandible, accompanied by facial asymmetry and vestibular obliteration. Histopathological examinations revealed features consistent with adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis supported the diagnosis of intestinal adenocarcinoma, with subsequent metastasis confirmed by PET scan findings. DIAGNOSIS: The lesion was conclusively diagnosed as intestinal adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the mandible. MANAGEMENT: The patient pursued treatment at a government facility, leading to a loss of follow-up.
