Abstract

The authors present a rare case of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the mandible in an 81-year old woman. The location of this NHL caused problems in making a differential diagnosis between periodontal and tumoral disease as they have similar symptoms (i.e. dental pain, swelling, ulceration and radiologically detected rarefaction). The present work emphasizes how important correct diagnosis and staging of the primary NHL are to good therapy. The patient was treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and is alive and disease-free 12 months after treatment.
