Abstract

Pathological fractures occur from a very low energy injury or loading forces, which are normally tolerated, in a bone weakened by a pathological condition. These types of fractures can be seen in any bone in entire skeleton. Pathological mandibular fractures are uncommon and represent less than 2% of all mandibular fractures1 . Metastases to the oral region represent only 1%–3% of all malignant oral neoplasms and the mandible is the most common location2 . Although lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women are the most common primary origin of metastases; kidney, liver, prostate and colorectal cancer metastases are also observed3 . Toothache, swelling, and numbness are the most common symptoms2 . In this report we aimed to describe the presentation of pathologic mandibular fractures due to metastasis of the colon cancer. It was noticed by a careful anamnesis of a patient presenting with diffuse pain in the body.
