Breast cancer metastatic to the mandible

One per cent of all malignant tumors produce metastatic foci in the jaws, with breast carcinoma being one of the most commonly metastasizing malignant tumors to the jaws in women. Such lesions should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of painful bone lesions, especially if there is a history of breast surgery for carcinoma. © 1982

Non-endemic Burkitt's lymphoma

Burkitt's lymphoma, characterized by jaw and abdominal tumors, is the most common early childhood malignancy in Central Africa and well-known in the United States, with only sporadic reports coming from other countries. Considered to be the fastest growing tumor in man, it is thought to be of viral etiology with warm, humid climate and malaria regarded as co-factors. This is the first case of Burkitt's lymphoma reported from Greece. © 1986, All rights reserved
