Abstract

A 79-year-old man with prostate cancer found to have a solitary bone lesion in the mandible on initial staging bone scan. The sclerotic lesion had a sunburst appearance on CT. As biopsy was nondiagnostic, the patient underwent segmental mandibulectomy. Postoperative pathology results confirmed as metastasis from prostate cancer.
