What Causes A Dark Spot On The Jaw?
My husband had a dark spot on his jaw on a dexa scan, even the tech pointed it out to my husband after doing the scan a 2nd time. What does it mean when all of the spine in good and dark, but the spot on his jaw was dark just below his eye? He is 46 yr old white male, who is dealing with several lower back procedure and pain. Cat scan showed possible hole in hip. Doc ordered dexa just in case there actually was something more than just a shadow on film.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Dark spot on the jaw could be pigmenetation, scar or anything else such lesions require a clinical examination to determine it and to plan the actual treatment.
Take care!
