Metastatic involvement of the maxillary antrum from an uncommon source
Unlabelled:
Metastatic involvement of the jawbones is uncommon, particularly in the maxilla. Case reports of such metastases from renal cell primaries are few, making a consensus on treatment difficult to establish. We present a case of metastatic involvement of the maxilla two years following a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The case exemplifies the broad range of symptoms attributable to metastases in the maxilla and the management dilemmas.
Clinical Relevance:
The case highlights the role of practitioners in primary dental care in identifying the potential for such pathology based on clinical and radiographic features.
