Abstract:
Metastatic disease to the oral and maxillofacial region is rare, with only about 1% of oral malignancy attributed to metastases. In approximately 20% of these patients, oral metastases are discovered before the detection of the primary tumor. Here we present a case of a 66-year-old man who presented with vague left mandibular pain and new-onset lip numbness as the first sign of occult malignancy from lung adenocarcinoma with multiple metastases.
