AbstractWe report a case of the numb chin syndrome as the presenting symptom in a patient with metastatic prostate carcinoma. The numb chin syndrome is characterized by facial numbness along the distribution of the mental branch of the trigeminal nerve. Most cases of this syndrome that are not dental in origin have been associated with diffuse metastatic disease, particularly with underlying lymphoproliferative and breast cancer. Although axial and vertebral bone metastases are common in patients with carcinoma of the prostate, mental nerve involvement is rare. We present a case of the numb chin syndrome as the initial clinical manifestation in a patient with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma.
