Metastatic tumors to the jaw are a rare occurrence. The incidence of metastatic Ewing's sarcoma to the jaw has been reported to be less than 2% of all cases of Ewing's sarcoma. Early detection of such lesions is difficult because the signs and symptoms do not appear until the lesion has progressed considerably. The treatment options are therefore limited to palliative care of the patient rather than cure. This article reports a case of Ewing's sarcoma that had metastasized to the mandible and reviews the literature.
转移至颌骨的肿瘤较为罕见。据报道，转移性尤因肉瘤累及颌骨的发生率在所有尤因肉瘤病例中不到2%。此类病变早期难以检测，因为直到病变进展相当程度才会出现体征和症状。因此，治疗选择仅限于对患者进行姑息治疗而非治愈。本文报告一例已转移至下颌骨的尤因肉瘤病例并对文献进行综述。
