Abstract
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the mandible is descr ibed. The patient reported swelling, pain, and trismus after a patholo gic fracture. After a systematic examination with the use of Tc-99m-me thylene diphosphonate, Ga-67-citrate, and Tc-99m-pyridoxyl-5-methyl tr iptophan scintigraphy the primary focus was discovered in the right ro be of the liver. The focus was confirmed by computed tomography and ma gnetic resonance imaging. The histopathologic diagnosis of hepatocellu lar carcinoma was made from a biopsy specimen of the mandibular lesion .
