{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Mandibular bone metastases should be suspected in all patients with temporomandibular joint disorder symptoms and lung cancer history. The purpose of this report is to present a case of metastasis to the mandibular condyle following pulmonary adenocarcinoma.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>In December 2020, a 71-year-old patient was evaluated by the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery for the presence of a large osteolytic lesion in the left mandibular condyle. There were no changes to the face or occlusion, and mandibular movements were preserved. After surgical removal, histology revealed pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastasis.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>To date, only 7 cases of condylar metastases are described by lung cancer. This pathology's clinical and radiological features are almost always shaded and not specific.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>This study also focuses on rare conditions, such as metastases to the mandibular condyle. It also stresses the importance of a multidisciplinary approach both in the diagnostic and therapeutic process.
