Abstract

Background: Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare tumors from hormone-secreting neuroendocrine cells, often within the gastrointestinal tract. The authors report what is, to their best knowledge, the first case of a small intestine NEC metastasizing to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Case description: A 60-year-old man came to the oral medicine, oncology, and orofacial pain clinic with a chief concern of left-sided jaw pain. Clinical examination revealed left TMJ arthralgia and deep masseter myalgia, and results of imaging showed both osteoblastic and osteolytic changes in the left TMJ. A comprehensive diagnostic approach, including detailed history, clinical evaluation, and advanced imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography computed tomography, was used to establish an accurate diagnosis.

Practical implications: This case highlights the importance of considering metastasis in differential diagnosis of TMJ pain in patients with NEC, underscoring collaboration between oncology and orofacial pain specialists for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

期刊介绍: There is not a single source or solution to help dentists in their quest for lifelong learning, improving dental practice, and dental well-being. JADA+, along with The Journal of the American Dental Association, is striving to do just that, bringing together practical content covering dentistry topics and procedures to help dentists—both general dentists and specialists—provide better patient care and improve oral health and well-being. This is a work in progress; as we add more content, covering more topics of interest, it will continue to expand, becoming an ever-more essential source of oral health knowledge.
