ABSTRACT
Se describe el caso de un paciente que consultó por hipoestesia mentoniana que en el curso evolutivo resultó ser secundario a un carcinoma de pulmón. Los procesos linfoproliferativos, el cáncer de mama y el de pulmón son los procesos neoplásicos que más frecuentemente se asocian con neuropatía mentoniana. La presencia de una neuropatía mentoniana, lejos de ser considerada un síntoma "banal", debe alertar al clínico de la presencia de cáncer e iniciar su búsqueda de forma inmediata (AU)
