signe de la houppe droite
French to English
Medical
Medical (general)
In a hospital report on a patient with prostate cancer with secondaries.
Whole entry reads:
'Majoration des douleurs osseuses avec signe de la houppe droite et majoration des xépanchements pleuraux'
Based on research on ProZ and online generally I have come up with 'loss of sensation in right chin' but it does not specify chin here and in the context I am not sure if this is right.

Summary
An apparently innocuous complaint such as a numb chin may be associated with malignant disease, either as heralding symptom or as a manifestation of metastasis.
A series of 15 patients with numbness of the chin is presented in which a malignancy was diagnosed prior to the numbness.
The numbness diminished or disappeared in 66% of the patients following either systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Note from asker:
| It would seem from the responses that the 'numb chin' translation I came up with is right in this context. At least no-one has come up with anything that glaringly contradicts this. Thank you for taking time to respond, Michael |
