Two clinical cases are reported of mandibular swelling caused by metastatic jaw neoplasms. They analyse. The clinical characteristics of the swelling are analysed and all laboratory and radiographic tests performed are examined. It is concluded that metastatic localisations in the maxillofacial bone are very rare, but that the mandible is certainly the most frequent site. The authors also highlight the fact that the presence of metastatic lesions in the jaw may be the first symptom of the neoplastic disease.
报告了两例由颌骨转移性肿瘤引起的下颌肿胀临床病例。对肿胀的临床特征进行了分析，并检查了所有进行的实验室和影像学检查。得出的结论是，颌面骨的转移定位非常罕见，但下颌骨肯定是最常见的部位。作者还强调了颌骨转移性病变可能是肿瘤疾病的首发症状这一事实。
