A patient who sought treatment complained of numbness. A periapical radiolucency had been observed some weeks earlier. He was subsequently treated with endodontic therapy. When he later developed soft-tissue swelling, he was treated with antibiotics. The treatment modalities were consistent with infection control. However, review of the patient's medical history of malignancy would have alerted the dentist to a possible case of metastasis.
一位寻求治疗的患者抱怨有麻木感。几周前观察到根尖周透射区。随后他接受了根管治疗。后来当他出现软组织肿胀时，接受了抗生素治疗。这些治疗方式符合感染控制原则。然而，回顾患者的恶性肿瘤病史本可使牙医警惕到可能的转移病例。
