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.
