Abstract

Background: Metastatic intestinal adenocarcinoma involving the mandible is rare, posing diagnostic challenges because of its unusual presentation.

Case presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing mass in the right mandible, accompanied by facial asymmetry and vestibular obliteration. Histopathological examinations revealed features consistent with adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis supported the diagnosis of intestinal adenocarcinoma, with subsequent metastasis confirmed by PET scan findings.

Diagnosis: The lesion was conclusively diagnosed as intestinal adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the mandible.

Management: The patient pursued treatment at a government facility, leading to a loss of follow-up.

转移性肠腺癌：涉及下颌骨的罕见病例

背景：累及下颌骨的转移性肠腺癌非常罕见，由于其不寻常的表现形式，给诊断带来了挑战：一名 55 岁的男性因右侧下颌骨肿块迅速增大，伴有面部不对称和前庭模糊而就诊。组织病理学检查显示其特征与腺癌一致。免疫组化分析支持肠腺癌的诊断，PET 扫描结果证实了随后的转移：诊断：最终确诊为转移至下颌骨的肠腺癌：患者在一家政府机构接受治疗，因此失去了随访机会。

期刊介绍： Head & Neck Pathology presents scholarly papers, reviews and symposia that cover the spectrum of human surgical pathology within the anatomic zones of the oral cavity, sinonasal tract, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary gland, ear and temporal bone, and neck. The journal publishes rapid developments in new diagnostic criteria, intraoperative consultation, immunohistochemical studies, molecular techniques, genetic analyses, diagnostic aids, experimental pathology, cytology, radiographic imaging, and application of uniform terminology to allow practitioners to continue to maintain and expand their knowledge in the subspecialty of head and neck pathology. Coverage of practical application to daily clinical practice is supported with proceedings and symposia from international societies and academies devoted to this field. Single-blind peer review The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
