Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death due to malignancy in men. Occult malignancy presenting with no primary symptoms could be a challenge to the diagnostician. Metastasis of prostate carcinoma to the mandible is rare and usually presents with non-specific symptoms. Only 1% of oral cancers account for lesions which present as metastasis of other primary malignancies. We report a rare case of prostate carcinoma being diagnosed as metastasis to the mandible with the patient presenting with numb chin syndrome.
前列腺癌是男性因恶性肿瘤导致死亡的主要原因之一。隐匿性恶性肿瘤没有原发性症状，这可能给诊断医生带来挑战。前列腺癌转移至下颌骨很少见，通常表现为非特异性症状。仅1%的口腔癌是由其他原发性恶性肿瘤转移所致的病变。我们报告一例罕见的前列腺癌被诊断为下颌骨转移，患者表现为颏部麻木综合征。
