Abstract

Malignant lymphomas are heterogenous group of neoplasms of lymphoid tissues with different clinical courses and varied prognosis. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) often presents at the extranodal sites of head and neck region, but the intraoral lesions are much less frequent, especially when they are the only manifestation of the disease. The oral cavity including the palate, gingiva, tongue, buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth and lips are the primary sites for approximately 2% of all extranodal lymphomas. We here report the case of a 40 years old male that had initial extra nodal intraoral presentations undiagnosed previously. The clinical, histopathological and immunological examinations revealed T-cell lymphoma.
