Prostate cancer is one of the commonest types of malignancy in males. Although prostate cancer has a propensity to metastasize to the bone, metastasis to the mandible is rare. Because of their uncommon incidence, the diagnosis of mandibular metastasis, especially those originating from the prostate, may represent a challenge both for urologists and dentists. Here we present a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma with initial metastatic spread to the mandible.
前列腺癌是男性最常见的恶性肿瘤类型之一。尽管前列腺癌易于转移至骨骼,但转移至下颌骨的情况较为罕见。由于其发病率不高,下颌骨转移的诊断,尤其是源自前列腺的转移,对泌尿外科医生和牙医来说可能都是一项挑战。在此,我们报告一例前列腺腺癌最初转移至下颌骨的病例。
