[Case reports of differential diagnosis of facial neuralgia caused by extracranial neoplastic processes].
Neoplastic extracranial processes may be central or peripheral. Peripheral pains appear often late and cancerous progress may therefore be overlooked. Central (cranio-vertebral space) pains may be located in the mandible, supra- and infraorbitally, glossopalatally, lingually and in the maxilla. They may be localized or projected and mostly accompanied by paresthesias and hyperesthesias. It is important to make a differential diagnosis with a cerebral tumor which causes cephalic rather than facial pain.
