Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Metastasis to Mandible- A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasis to mandible is rare and represent approximately one percent, although it is the most common carcinoma of the thyroid. In case of metastasis in the oral cavity, the most common site is the body of the mandible in the premolar-molar region. Common oral sites other than the jawbones are gingiva, buccal mucosa; soft palate and tongue. In case of solely involvement of one side of mandible, which occurred in this case, hemimandibulectomy is the preferred treatment option.
