Core Tip Many patients visiting the orofacial pain clinic have zygomatic arch pain as their chief complaint. However, the pain that the patient describes may not always originate from the masseter muscle, as easily considered. The orofacial region is a common site for referred pain and is frequently the cause of misdiagnosis and confusion for both the clinician and patient. This report examines the various diagnostic results of 7 patients with chief complaint of pain in the zygomatic arch region, including myofascial pain, myositis, toothache, sinusitis, neuropathy, and salivary gland tumor. Imaging and diagnostic anesthesia should be understood to avoid misdiagnosis.
