Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumor arising from the pleura or peritoneum. Distant hematogenous metastasis is seen in more than half of cases, preferentially to the brain, lung, bone and soft tissues [Br. J. Dis. Chest 70 (1976) 246]. There has been only one previous report of this tumor metastasizing to the jaw bone [Pathologica 92 (2000) 273].
