Selective anesthesias of the inferior alveolar nerve in leukemia and lymphoma

Numb chin syndrome as a presenting symptom of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with secondary myelofibrosis

“…Thus, this seemingly subtle sign should be always be taken as the harbinger of a sinister aggressive malignancy unless proven otherwise. The resolution of symptoms of NCS with therapy can be used as subtle indicator of chemoresponsiveness of the tumour while persistence of symptoms may indicate refractoriness and reappearance may herald a relapse of tumour 12. In our case, there was partial improvement in numbness following the administration of prephase chemotherapy suggesting chemoresponsiveness of the disease.…”

Temporary Mental Nerve Paresthesia Originating from Periapical Infection

“…In dentistry, paresthesia can be caused by systemic or local factors. Some of the systemic disorders that may cause orofacial paresthesia are multiple sclerosis [ 2 ], viral and bacterial infections [ 3 , 4 ], and leukemia and lymphoma [ 5 ]. Local factors include anesthetic injections [ 6 ], surgical interventions [ 7 ], compressive phenomena or local infections [ 8 , 9 ], and endodontic treatment [ 10 , 11 ].…”
