Mandibular metastasis of neuroblastoma (Case report)

Abstract

The authors present a case of neuroblastoma of which the first symptom was mandibular metastasis. They emphasize the relatively benign nature of the intrabuccal swelling. It is remarkable how well this metastasis responded to radiotherapeutic treatment. All authors are in agreement that jaw bones are a rare area of localization for neuroblastoma metastases. In 1972, Angelopoulos, in reporting such a case, surveyed the literature and found 12 cases. Chakzabart reported one case in 1975, as did Snyder. This is one more.SCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
