Overview

A case report reveals metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma mimicking periapical pathology in the jaw, suggesting critical diagnostic considerations.

Key Points

  • To highlight how metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma can mimic periapical pathology in imaging studies of the jaw.
  • Routine radiographic examination of the mandible
  • Histopathologic examination of jaw lesions
  • Lesions appeared as well-defined radiolucencies at the apex of non-vital teeth
  • Initial imaging suggested periapical pathology, but histopathology confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma
