一位57岁女性在接受乳癌手术12年后，因左侧脸部疼痛及感觉异常2个月来我科就诊。我们进行了内窥镜活检，并诊断为转移性乳腺癌的翼腭窝。自从转移性肿瘤接受放射治疗以来，两年来没有复发。文献检索显示只有一例转移性乳腺癌伴三叉神经V2区严重三叉神经痛。转移性疾病应被视为三叉神经病变患者鉴别诊断的一部分。(C)2016爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
A 57-year-old woman presented to our department with a 2-month history of pain and paresthesia on the left side of the face 12 years after having undergone surgery for breast cancer. We performed an endoscopic biopsy and diagnosed metastatic breast cancer to the pterygopalatine fossa. There has been no recurrence for two years since the metastatic tumor was treated by radiation therapy. A literature search shows only one case of metastatic breast cancer with severe trigeminal neuralgia located in the V2 division of the trigeminal nerve area. Metastatic disease should be considered part of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with trigeminal neuropathy. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
