Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Lung Leading to Metastatic Jaw Tumor

Abstract

Metastatic tumors to the orofacial region are unusual and they may occur in the oral soft tissues or jaw bones. Owing to their clinical variability the diagnosis of such tumors is often a dilemma. We report a unique case of mandibular metastasis which became the first evidence of an occult primary in the lung.
