    <abstract locale="en_US">Metastatic disease to the oral cavity is rare, representing only 1-8% of oral malignancies, and involvement 
of the mandibular ramus is even less prevalent. This report is a unique case of metastatic&#xA0;adenocarcinoma of the colorectal to the mandible. Clinical presentation can be quite variable, and&#xA0;most often a primary malignancy is already known. Jawbone metastasis are a sign of disseminated&#xA0;malignant neoplasms, with poor prognosis and usually an indication for palliative therapy. The&#xA0;requirement for arrival at an appropriate and prompt diagnosis is crucial for determining the most&#xA0;appropriate treatment regimens and improved outcomes. The oral metastatic lesion may be the&#xA0;first indication of an undiscovered distant primary tumor, making timely evaluation and treatment&#xA0;critical from an oncologic perspective. Here we report a known case of mucinous adenocarcinoma&#xA0;of colon who was referred due to a mandibular lesion.
