Abstract

In 8 patients presenting with unilateral facial pain, subsequent investigation revealed an ipsilateral lung tumour. The interval between presentation with the pain and the discovery of the lung cancer varied between 6 wk and 4 yr. Radiotherapy cured the facial pain in 7 cases. Facial pain may be caused by lung cancer, and could be referred to the face via the vagus nerve.

摘要

在8例出现单侧面部疼痛的患者中，后续检查发现同侧肺部有肿瘤。从出现疼痛到发现肺癌的间隔时间在6周和4年之间不等。7例患者经放射治疗后面部疼痛得到缓解。面部疼痛可能由肺癌引起，并可通过迷走神经传导至面部。
