Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Metastases of non-small cell lung carcinoma to the oral and maxillofacial region are rare. Thus, the diagnosis of a metastatic lesion in the oral cavity is challenging, both to the clinician and to the pathologist. We present a case of a 72-year-old male patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma located in the posterior mandibular region. Next-generation sequencing analysis revealed no significant mutations in the relevant genes except in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene.
