ANTUNEZ-CONDE, Raúl; MONTESERIN, Eduardo; BULLEJOS, Elena y NAVARRO, Ignacio. Chin hypoesthesia as a manifestation of a lymphoproliferative síndrome. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.3, pp.143-146. Epub 13-Oct-2020. ISSN 2173-9161. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/recom.2020.1087/2019.
Mental hypostesia syndrome or numb chin syndrome consists of a sensory neuropathy that leads to the numbness of the lower lip unilaterally in most cases. May be the first manifestation of multiple benign or malignant processes.
The clinical case of a female patient who reports this symptom in isolation is presented. Odontogenic or iatrogenic causes are ruled out. After the CT and MRI study, a soft tissue lesion is seen next to the jaw on the right side and is biopsied with the result of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
Among the multiple causes of chin hypoesthesia are odontogenic processes, systemic diseases and malignant diseases such as solid tumors of the breast and lung or lymphoproliferative syndromes, mainly.
