INTRODUCTION
Numb chin syndrome (NCS) is the presence of hypoaesthesia or paraethesia of the lip and chin over the distribution of the mental nerve. It is often caused by the presence of a metastatic tumour in the mandible or the base of skull and represents advanced malignancy.
PRESENTATION OF CASE
This paper presents an unusual case of NCS associated with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung, for which no obvious lesion was found in the mandible or base of the skull.
DISCUSSION
NCS can oftentimes present itself in the absence of mandibular or base of skull metastatic lesions.
CONCLUSION
NCS can be a sign of underlying advanced metastatic malignancy and therefore cannot be ignored and must be investigated fully.
引言
麻木性下巴综合征（NCS）是指颏神经分布区域内嘴唇和下巴出现感觉减退或感觉异常。它通常由下颌骨或颅底的转移性肿瘤引起，代表晚期恶性肿瘤。
病例介绍
本文报告了一例罕见的与肺转移性腺癌相关的NCS病例，该病例在下颌骨或颅底未发现明显病变。
讨论
NCS常常在没有下颌骨或颅底转移性病变的情况下出现。
结论
NCS可能是潜在晚期转移性恶性肿瘤的一个迹象，因此不能忽视，必须进行全面检查。
