Received 3 August 2005; revised 25 October 2005; accepted 25 November 2005

Metastatic tumour spread to the mandible is quite rare. We report a case of distant metastasis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma in the mandibular bone. The patient had pain in his left mandibular premolar-molar area caused by a mandibular metastasis from a previously undiagnosed pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Keywords: mandible; metastasis, pulmonary adenocarcinoma; dental radiographs
