Periapical pathoses which often appear as vague radiolucent areas on routine roentgenographs, are treated by endodontic therapy alone or followed by apicoectomy. Clinicians as well as histopathologists should be aware that a metastatic carcinoma to the jaws can mimic apical lesions. A case of metastatic carcinoma from the larynx, which manifested as a periapical lesion with the clinical signs and symptoms of pulpal pathology, is described.
根尖周病在常规X线片上常表现为模糊的透射区,仅通过根管治疗或随后进行根尖切除术来治疗。临床医生和组织病理学家都应意识到,颌骨转移性癌可模仿根尖病变。本文描述了一例来自喉部的转移性癌,其表现为根尖周病变,并伴有牙髓病变的临床体征和症状。
