Abstract
- Metastatic tumors to the jawbones are an infrequent but not rare phenomenon. The most common site of distant primary tumor metastasis to the jaw bones is the breast. The clinical signs and symptoms, and radiographic appearance of these lesions can be quite variable. In this report, an invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast that metastasized to the whole mandible is presented. The patient's medical history revealed that she had undergone a modified radical mastectomy on the right breast eight years ago.
