Cancer metastasis to the oral and maxillofacial region is uncommon, and metastasis to the mandibular condyle is considered rare. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman with a history of invasive ductal cell carcinoma of the right breast, 10 years in remission, presenting with a 6-month history of symptoms typical of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Imaging revealed an osteolytic lesion of her right TMJ and subsequent open biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. Despite the rarity of metastatic cancer to the head and neck region, it is still important for clinicians from both medical and dental backgrounds to consider this differential diagnosis, particularly in patients with a history of hormonal positive subtype of breast cancer. Given that bony metastasis can manifest even 10 years after initial diagnosis, surveillance which includes examination of the head and neck region is important, and may include routine plain-film imaging surveillance with an orthopantomogram (OPG).

A tracheal bronchus is a rare congenital anomaly, suggesting abnormal bronchial development. The prevalence of tracheal bronchus in children who undergo bronchoscopy is estimated to be between 0.2% and 3%. When associated with recurrent infection, lobes of the lung must be removed to avoid further lung injury. In such cases, perioperative one-lung ventilation and airway management remain a huge challenge for anaesthesiologists. The case of this rare airway anatomic abnormality in a paediatric patient with two bronchial openings into the right upper lobe, and with a history of recurrent pneumonia, is reported. In addition to a normal opening, a distinct opening in the upper lobe of the right lung was observed, that originated directly from the trachea, superior to the carina. The entire right lung was deflated by left-lung ventilation using a single lumen tracheal tube, and the patient underwent right upper lobe resection. No anaesthesia complications were observed during recovery. In this case, timely identification of the tracheal bronchus and successful collapse of the right lung were key points in the anaesthesia management of this patient.

In this article, we present a patient diagnosed synchronously with metastatic male breast cancer and prostate cancer. This is a 63-year-old male and recent immigrant from Nigeria, who sought medical attention for progressively worsening of shortness of breath and acute progression of a chronic right breast mass. An invasive breast carcinoma was diagnosed by the core biopsy of the right breast mass. Within 2 months of his breast cancer diagnosis, the patient also was diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma after being worked up for urinary retention. By presenting this patient with a synchronous diagnosis with metastatic male breast cancer and prostate cancer, history of chronic right breast mass, and gynecomastia, we speculate on possible cancer etiologies and risk factors.
