Abstract:
To investigate the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and diagnosis for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the jaw, we retrospectively analyzed 3 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the jaw and reviewed relevant literature. Three patients' lesion occurred in the maxilla with early painless masses. Two patients were diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma via biopsy, and one patient underwent maxillofacial resection with pathological examination which showed plasmaoblastoma lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the maxilla is rare and easily misdiagnosed due to the atypical clinical features. Biopsy at the early stage of the lesion and pathological examination can assist the diagnosis for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
