Metastasis of Thyroid Adenocarcinoma in Mandible
Journal Title: International Journal of Dentistry and Oral Science (IJDOS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Thyroid carcinoma is a malignant neoplasia associated with radiation exposure, which is a risk factor for the disease, which induces cell mutation of that gland. Objective: On the basis of the above, the objective of this work is to present a clinical case of a patient whosought the Stomatology Service of the Federal University of Paraíba, complaining of swelling in the mandibular region. Case Report: Patient JMC, a 54-year old woman, melanoderma, sought the Stomatology Service of UFPB, bearing apanoramic radiography and reportings welling in the region of the body, on the left branch of the mandible, and the presence of local painful symptoms. The patient reported thyroid nodule removal two years ago. The clinical examination showed that the lesion presented exophytic growth and firm consistency, numerous diagnostic measures were performed, however, the only that provided the best results and accuracy of diagnosis was the biopsy. But as the diagnosis was very late, she came to death even before the completion of the usual surgical management. Conclusion: The diagnosis of primary and metastatic malignant gnathic bone neoplasms is primarily made on anamnesis, clinical, laboratorial, radiological, and histopathological data; thus being a multidisciplinary work.
