73-year-old female
A 73-year-old female was referred for TMJ evaluation with no significant medical history provided by the practice. Upon review, the radiologist identified multiple atypical sclerotic and lytic lesions in the TMJs, spine, and skull. Based on the imaging characteristics, the radiologist included metastatic cancer, including breast cancer, in the differential and referred the patient for further workup and imaging. After the report was issued, the practice confirmed that the patient had a long-standing history of breast cancer that had not been included in the referral information. This case confirmed active metastatic lesions in the maxillofacial area and cervical spine, likely altering the patient's treatment protocol.
