Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the jaw: A report of 3 cases

Abstract

To examine the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, we retrospectively analyzed 3 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The injury to three patients occurred in the jaw cavity with early painless masses. Three patients were diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma by biopsy (the pathological examination showing for the first one a follicular lymphoma and the third patient a Mantle cell lymphoma). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the jaw is rare and easily diagnosed due to atypical clinical features. Biopsy in the early stages of the lesion and pathological examination can help with the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The dentist plays an important role in the early diagnosis.
