Osteoblastic metastasis from breast affecting the condyle misinterpreted as temporomandibular joint disorder.

Sir, Despite the low incidence of metastases in jaw bones compared with the rest of the skeleton, metastases are important because of the poor prognosis they carry. Their presence can indicate a yet unknown lesion, a disseminated cancer, or recurrence of the disease.[1] We report a case of a metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast to the mandible affecting the condyle showing a unique radiologic osteoblastic aspect and symptoms similar to the temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
