TLDR
Although the development of metastatic lesions around implants is an uncommon pathologic finding, the examination of peri-implant lesion should be performed carefully considering the entire pathologic situations.Abstract:
Numb chin syndrome, sometimes called numb lip syndrome, is an uncommon but well-recognized symptom in medical oncology. It may be a metastatic neurologic manifestation of malignancy, often with no clinically visible pathologic finding. The authors report a numb chin syndrome as a manifestation possible breast cancer metastasis around dental implants in a 69-year-old woman. The patient was presented with complaint of numbness in the lower jaw. Medical anamnesis revealed a metastatic breast carcinoma (CA). Radiographic imaging with conventional panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomographic examination, revealed a moth-eaten shape, radiolucent, and radiopaque mixed appearance around the dental implants that was related with possible metastasis of the breast cancer. Numb chin syndrome is almost unknown within the dental and oral and maxillofacial community, despite being well reported in the medical literature. General dentists, oral medicine specialists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be aware of this condition to consider metastatic cancer in patients with unexplained facial hypoesthesia. Moreover, although the development of metastatic lesions around implants is an uncommon pathologic finding, the examination of peri-implant lesion should be performed carefully considering the entire pathologic situations.read more

Metastasis to the Jawbones: A review of 453 cases
TL;DR: Dentists, as well as general physicians, should take into consideration the possible presence of jaw metastases in cases which present atypical symptoms, especially in patients with known malignant disease, and a careful examination of patients with jaw bone lesions is strongly suggested.

Primary Oral Malignancy Imitating Peri-Implantitis
TL;DR: Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for changes in peri-implant mucosa in patients with existing risk factors; however, rare cases such as lymphoma might present outside this risk population.

Clinicopathologic evaluation of malignancy adjacent to dental implants
TL;DR: Clinical features imitating peri-implantitis may delay diagnosis and Lesions failing to respond to treatment, especially in patients with pre-existing risk factors, should significantly increase suspicion.

TL;DR: Every untypical or refractory reaction to the treatment of peri-implantitis is suspicious for malignancy as long as the contrary remains unproven.

Metastasis of prostate carcinoma in the mandible manifesting as numb chin syndrome
TL;DR: The clinical course and rapid deterioration after the initial presentation of this syndrome is discussed, which illustrates the importance of good medical history review prior to all procedures by the medical professions dealing with oncology patients.

TL;DR: Tissue trauma at trocar sites and leakage of CO2 along a trocar appear to promote implantation and growth of tumor cells at port sites.
