Popis: A 61-year-old patient with advanced gastric cancer was treated with ramucirumab plus albumin-suspended paclitaxel as second-line treatment. The treatment resulted in exposure of the right mandible around an implant. The implant was removed, and sequestration was not observed. The patient was diagnosed with oral mucosal necrosis. Thus, implants may cause mucosal necrosis due to angiogenesis inhibitors.
