Oral manifestations of hematological tumors

Abstract

Hematological tumor is a kind of tumor caused by abnormal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells or lymphocytes and granulocytes which are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells. In addition to abnormal manifestations of the hematopoietic system, hematological tumors can also involve multiple organs such as the skin, oral cavity, viscera and eyes. Among them, oral cavity is one of the most common sites for hematological tumors, and because the oral cavity is located in the anterior part of the digestive tract, it is easier to be found when lesions occur. Therefore, some patients with hematological tumors often complain of oral discomfort and are first diagnosed in the dentistry department. This article reviews the oral manifestations of hematological tumors in order to facilitate the early diagnosis and treatment of hematological tumors and improve the prognosis of patients.
