Abstract

Multiple myeloma is malignant neoplasm of plasma cells. Mandible lesions are rarely the first symptoms of multiple myeloma. While sensory dysfunction and pain are the main symptoms of traumatic trigeminal neuropathy, the same oral symptoms can appear in cases of multiple myeloma with developed mandible lesions. In addition, if the radiological osteoporosis or lytic lesion is seen in older patients, further examination is required to find the cause of the symptoms. In this paper, we present a case that was tentatively diagnosed as traumatic trigeminal neuropathy after left third molar extraction, but later confirmed as multiple myeloma.
