  • Title: Malignant lesions presenting as symptoms of craniomandibular dysfunction.
    Author: Drum RK, Fornadley JA, Schnapf DJ.
    Journal: J Orofac Pain; 1993; 7(3):294-9. PubMed ID: 9116629.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of carcinoma, seen in a head/neck pain management practice during the past 2 years and presenting as craniomandibular dysfunction symptoms, are reported. Clinicians should always consider a differential diagnosis because of the variety of potential causes of the symptoms presented by the patient. These symptoms act as clues to help to differentiate between a routine or "evil" process. The need for imaging and remaining, when the clinical symptoms do not correlate with the clinical examination through established guidelines for craniomandibular dysfunction or head/neck pain, is of paramount importance.
