Abstract

We describe a 63-year-old smoker who suffered from intractable facial pain secondary to an underlying lung neoplasm. Data from 30 previously reported and similar cases are also summarized. The clinical triad of a smoker suffering from periauricular pain and an elevated ESR should alert the clinician to the possibility of an occult lung mass. In these cases a computed tomography of the chest should always be obtained. Previously refractory pain typically responds to surgical resection of the mass and/or radiation therapy.
