Abstract
|
|
|
|
Numb chin syndrome (NCS) is a sensory neuropathy characterized by numbness in the distribution of the inferior alveolar nerve or mental nerve. Benign as well as malignant diseases are known to cause NCS. If a dentist encounters NCS without a history of maxillofacial trauma or dental problems, they should keep in mind the relationship with malignant tumors. This report introduces the case of numbness and pain in chin area caused by metastasis and emphasizes the importance of diagnosis of NCS.
