Malignant pheochromocytoma of the mandible is an extremely uncommon tumour. This report describes a 59-year-old woman with pheochromocytoma metastatic to the mandible. The patient was referred with a painless mandibular swelling on the right side. She had undergone dual tumour ablation for a pheochromocytoma of the adrenal medulla 7 years and 6 months previously, and for a pheochromocytoma metastatic lesion on the pelvis 2 years and 8 months previously. Radiographic examinations revealed a well-circumscribed radiolucent lesion of the mandibular ramus. A definitive diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma was made following a partial mandibulectomy. The patient died of disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple bone metastases of pheochromocytoma about 10 years after the initial diagnosis of disease. © 2008 Asian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
