FERRERAS GRANADO, J. et al. Mandibular metastases of gastric adenocarcinoma: A case report. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.5, pp.319-323. ISSN 2173-9161.
Malignant tumors of the mouth and jaws represents approximately 5% of all malignant neoplasms in the body, and only 1-4% are considered to be metastatic. They are most frequently located in the mandible (80%), fundamentally in the molar region. Metastases to the jaws are usually from breast, lung, kidney, thyroid gland, intestines, and prostate gland; and less frequently from stomach, testes, and bladder. They are more frequent in elderly patients (between 4th and 7th decades) with no gender differences. Treatment is usually palliative and based on the use of radiotherapy, chemotherapy andhormonal therapy. Surgery is only used in selected cases. A case of mandibular metastases as first sign of malignant disease of gastric adenocarcinoma is reported.
