| Core Tip |
Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the jaw (MAJ) occurs predominantly in middle-aged and elderly men, most commonly in the posterior mandible. To our knowledge, this study is the first to propose cystic and alveolar bone resorption types based on the structure of the jawbone. MAJ is typified by numb chin syndrome, as well as rapidly progressive osteolytic bone destruction with periosteal reaction and a localised soft tissue mass, usually without jaw expansion on computerized tomography. These features may provide a basis for the clinical diagnosis of MAJ. |
