Abstract :
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Although bone metastases occur very frequently, mandibular metastasis is very rare in prostate cancer. Mandibular osteonecrosis is a new entity described after potent bisphosphonate treatment. In this case report, a patient who presented with widespread bone metastases was treated with radiotherapy for new development of a mandibular lesion along with progression of the other bone metastases during zolendronic acid treatment. When he was admitted to our hospital with increased symptoms, the diagnosis of mandibular osteonecrosis was established by biopsy.
