Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lymphomas are the third most common cancer after squamous cell carcinoma and salivary gland tumors. Extranodal diffuse B cell lymphoma (DBCL) represents 30 to 58% of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One of the major problems of DBCL is the high likelihood of disease relapse following treatment. A recent trend in the treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is blockage of an immune checkpoint inhibitor that targets the programmed death of cell ligand 1 receptors (PD-L1). PD-L1 activation results in negative regulatory signals that induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor antigen-specific T cells allowing immune evasion of the tumor.The aim of this aim is to measure the expression level of PD-L1 on oral tissue samples from DLBCL patients using immunohistochemistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS This current study was performed at the Faculty of Dentistry, Tanta University, Egypt. Ethical approval was conducted from Faculty of Dentistry, Tanta University. Tissue samples were collected from 13 patients diagnosed with oral extranodal DLBCL) nongerminal center B cell like subtype. Both hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining (The avidin-biotin-complex procedure) was performed with anti-PD-L1 antibody (clone number: 28-8, Abcam, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States).Cytoplasmic and/or membranous positive intensity was graded as follows: very mild staining, mild staining, moderate staining, and intense staining using Image J, 1.41a (National Institutes of Health, United States) image analysis software. The mean area fraction of the stained cells was calculated by counting immunostained cells in three fields of each case by two pathologists. Data was entered in SPSS program for analysis. RESULTS PD-L1 was overexpressed on tumor cells of oral extranodal DLBCL than control cells from lesion free areas of oral tissues of the same patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lymphoma is a heterogenous group of malignant tumours with proliferation of lymphoid cells or their precursors. Lymphomas in the head and neck region are usually found in Waldeyer's ring. Intraoral lymphomas are rare and the clinical presentation and roentgenological appearance may resemble other and benign conditions, entailing a risk for diagnostic delay. The objective of the present literature review was to identify subjective symptoms, clinical presentations and roentgenological appearances which should raise suspicion of lymphoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The literature review identified 41 case series with head and neck lymphomas (n = 3880) and 384 case reports (n = 567 cases) of intraoral lymphomas. Information of demographics, clinical presentation, subjective symptoms and roentgenological appearance was registered. RESULTS The most common clinical presentation was a broad-based swelling or bulging mass with or without simultaneous ulceration, frequently with a relatively rapid growth pattern. Subjective symptoms varied considerably. Intraosseous lymphomas were frequently associated with paresthaesia or numbness. The most common roentgenological finding was a radiolucency with diffuse demarcation. CONCLUSIONS The clinical presentation, symptomatology and roentgenological appearance of intraoral lymphomas varied. Diagnostic delay was usually associated with a lymphoma initially misdiagnosed as a lesion of dental aetiology or a reactive lesion. Inadequate healing after tooth extraction or symptoms of numbness or pain without obvious dental origin should merit further clinical and roentgenological examination. Biopsy is indicated when there is the slightest doubt of the true nature of mucosal lesion.

Abstract
Oral lymphoma can resemble clinically to other pathologic entities such as periapical radiolucencies, or dental abscess. The aim of this study was to review the literature related to misdiagnosed periapical lymphomas and discuss their characteristics. In this review study, authenticated search engines and databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, and Scopus were surfed to find articles related to the topic by using related keywords. Out of more than 100 articles approximately, 50 were closely relevant to the title, and ultimately 43 well-documented English articles were chosen. Out of 45 reported cases, 63% were male and 37% were female with mean age of 41.22 years. The majority of such lesions have been detected in the mandible (61%) with a mandibular to maxillary involvement ratio of 1.58:1. The most frequent type of lymphoma was diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (53%). Noteworthy, 49% of periapical lymphoma has been misdiagnosed as pulpal pathology and treated through root canal therapy. The mean time lapse before making the correct diagnosis was 4.3 months. Although rare, periapical lymphoma should be ranked in the differential diagnosis of a periapical lesion especially when vitality pulp tests are positive.

Abstract
Objectives Extranodal lymphomas affecting the head and neck infrequently arise within the jaw bones. Although clinical examination and conventional radiography may initially suffice for such lesions arising within the mandible, those arising within the maxillary alveolus generally require cross-sectional imaging because of the complex anatomy of this region. This study was performed to determine the prevalence, demographic characteristics, and clinical presentations of these lesions and the imaging modalities used for their diagnosis. Study design A systematic review (SR) on case series and another SR on case reports were performed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and radiological features of extranodal lymphomas arising within the maxillary alveolus. Results Most case series were derived from just four nations, whereas the case reports were derived from a wider range of ethnicities. The more detailed case reports significantly reported at least one imaging modality. Most patients were aware of their lesions for nearly 2 months before presentation. The most frequent symptom was swelling. Most case reports included a provisional diagnosis, the most frequent of which was dental infection followed by squamous cell carcinoma. Discussion Extranodal lymphomas arising within the maxillary alveolus were sufficiently frequent in four communities to be reported in two or more case series, and the occasional single case report indicated that such lesions are more widespread globally. Although the SR on case series revealed differences in the relative period prevalence and maxillary/mandibular ratio, the SR on case reports revealed details of the clinical presentation and imaging modalities used.

Abstract
T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRBCL) is an uncommon subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is a predominant nodal neoplasm; however, extranodal sites, such as the spleen, liver and bone marrow, can be involved at diagnosis. However, only one case of primary THRLBCL in the jaws have been reported. We herein describe a 29-year-old female patient who presented with a swelling of the right mandible that had grown rapidly over the previous 2 months. Periapical and panoramic radiographs showed a multilocular osteolytic lesion located in the mandibular periapical region of the canine and premolar teeth and molar region. Preoperative examination and incisional biopsy were performed. Immunohistochemistry was applied to confirm the diagnosis of THRBCL in the jaw. The treatment consisted of CHOP therapy and radiotherapy. After complete tumor remission following initial treatment, additional sites of the disease appeared in the lung, abdomen and long bones. The patient died within 2 months. THRLBCL is an uncommon and aggressive malignant neoplasm that can involve the jaws, mimicking a periapical disease.

Abstract
Malignant lymphomas form a heterogeneous group of neoplasms of the lymphoid tissue with different clinical courses, depending on the treatment and prognosis. Lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm of the lymphoid tissue; it is broadly classified into Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and Non-HL (NHL) depending on the presence or absence of the Reed–Sternberg cells. The main types of lymphomas are (1) HL and (2) NHL. This case report describes about primary NHL involving the mandible. Chemotherapy was advised by the oncologist, and a total of 14 cycles were suggested at the gap of every 2 weeks. The treatment regimen followed was classical Cyclophosphamide hydrodaunorubicin oncovin Prednisolone (CHOP) therapy. NHL can be managed by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery in various combinations. NHL arising in bone is best treated by chemotherapy and may not require radiotherapy. Survival and prognosis are excellent in localized disease, whereas disseminated disease seems less favorable.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the parotid gland is a relatively rare occurrence among head and neck tumors. The mass of parotid gland lymphoma cannot be distinguished from other benign masses of the parotid gland; therefore, it is important to consider lymphoma in the differential diagnosis when examining parotid swellings and masses. Parotid gland lymphoma is most likely to be B-cell, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of one of three types, which include follicular, marginal zone, and diffuse large B-cell, although other histologic patterns have been described. We present a review of a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Pusan National University Hospital (Yangsan, Korea).

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with the ability to transform into a more aggressive disease, frequently to B cell-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a subtype of NHL, which is characterized by diffuse proliferation of large neoplastic B-lymphocytes. It accounts for 30% of all NHL and its occurrence in the mandible is very rare. It is often seen in young adults, but in the present case, a 50-year-old male patient presented with painless swelling in left lower jaw since 25 days following extraction of left lower molar teeth. There was a history of fever and submandibular lymph nodes were enlarged. On incisional biopsy, features of NHL-like lesion were observed and confirmed by immunohistochemistry using CD20, bcl-2, CD10, CD3, CD5, Ki67 markers to be FL (3A) lymphoma transforming into DLBCL. This is a very uncommon presentation.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are defined as neoplasms of large transformed B cells, i.e. with nuclear diameter more than twice that of a normal lymphocyte. These account for 30-40% of all adult non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). Intraoral lymphomas are relatively rare and often difficult to diagnose in clinical settings. In this case report, we describe a case of primary DLBCL affecting the anterior part of the hard palate of an elderly male patient. DLBCL of anterior part of hard palate is yet to be reported in the English literature, even though DLBCL cases involving the posterior palate have been recorded, thus making the present case to be first of its kind. Emphasis has also been given on the subclassification, differential diagnosis and prognostic antibody factors determining the outcome of DLBCL.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) making up about approximately 30% of all NHL. Its occurrence in the mandible is very rare. Histopathologically, five variants of DLBCL have been recognized among which centroblastic variant is the one with better prognosis. We report a case of a 55 year-old patient who presented with a painless swelling in the lower right body of the mandible since 4 months. Incisional biopsy revealed NHL like features, confirmed by immunohistochemistry using CD45, CD20, and CD3 markers to be a DLBCL of centroblastic variant. Patient was treated with chemotherapy following which the lesion regressed completely with no further recurrences. Precise histological diagnosis is crucial for the clinical management and ultimately for the survival of the patient.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are a group of neoplasms that originate from the cells of the lymphoreticular system. Forty percent of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas arise from extra nodal sites. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas detected primarily in the bone are quite rare, but among jaw lesions, they are more frequently present in the maxilla than in the mandible. There are no classical characteristic clinical features of lymphomas involving the jaw bones. Swelling, ulcer or discomfort may be present in the region of the lymphoma, or it may mimic a periapical pathology or a benign condition. Extranodal non-Hodgkins lymphoma of the maxilla could present as one of the early manifestation of detrimental diseases. Clinically these types of lymphoma can mimic an inflammatory endo-periodontal lesion with symptoms of pain and local discomfort. The greater the delay in diagnosis subsequently worsens the prognosis. A case of maxillary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with an unusual presentation is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), in extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of oral and maxillofacial regions. STUDY DESIGN Thirteen cases with extranodal NHL were examined using MRI. T1-weighted images (T1WI) and T2-weighted images (T2WI) or short TI inversion recovery (STIR) images were obtained in all cases. Contrast-enhanced images and DCE-MRI were acquired in 10 and 7 cases, respectively. On DCE-MRIs, we analyzed the parameters as follows: contrast index at maximal contrast enhancement (CImax), maximum contrast index (CI) gain/CImax ratio, and washout ratios (WR(300), WR(600), and WR(900)) at 300, 600, and 900 seconds after contrast medium injection. RESULTS The signal intensity of all lesions was hypointense to isointense on T1WIs and showed variable contrast enhancement patterns. On T2WIs and STIR images, the signal intensity was isointense to hyperintense in almost all cases. Analysis of DCE-MRI parameters in extranodal NHLs resulted in the identification of 4 types of CI curves according to CImax and WR: (1) CImax greater than 2.0 and WR(900) greater than 40%, (2) CImax greater than 2.0 and WR(900) less than 40%, (3) CImax less than 1.5 and WR(900) greater than 40%, and (4) CImax less than 1.5 and WR(900) greater than 40%. CONCLUSIONS The signal intensities on MRI were not specific to extranodal NHL and resembled those of other tumor types. When CImax was less than 1.5 or WR900 was less than 40%, these parameters contributed to diagnosis in extranodal NHLs.

Abstract
Primary diffuse large cell lymphoma of the mandible is a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Herein we present 4 cases treated at our institution over a 5-year period and review 40 cases previously reported in the English-literature. The median age at presentation is 51 years with equal distribution between males and females. At presentation the lymphoma is usually limited to the jaw (stage IE) and the most common presenting symptoms include swelling of the jaw (58%), pain (53%), and mental dysesthesia or numbness (20%). Despite symptoms of numb chin syndrome, central nervous system (CNS) involvement at presentation has not been reported. The reported therapy of this rare diffuse large cell lymphoma presentation is very heterogeneous, however majority of patients were treated with combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy with estimated 5-year overall survival of only 60%. Multi-center prospective clinical trials are needed to determine the optimal therapeutic approach to this rare diffuse large cell lymphoma presentation.

Abstract
With advancements in diagnosis and treatment for lymphoma, it is important that physicians be up to date in the management of these lymphoproliferative disorders, their associated complications, and the complications of treatment. The importance of a thorough examination of the oro-facial complex and neck on all patients cannot be overemphasized. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons continue to make significant contributions in what has become a multidisciplinary approach to managing lymphoproliferative disease.

Abstract
Forty cases of oral cavity non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were evaluated for sex, age, location, clinical presentation, and World Health Organization (WHO) histological subtype. Fifty-three percent were female and the mean age was 71. The upper jaw (maxilla or palatal bone), mandible, palatal soft tissue, and vestibule and gingivae (maxillary or mandibular soft tissue involvement only) were, respectively, the most common locations. Swelling, ulceration, and radiographic destruction of bone were the most frequent signs. Most of the lymphomas were of B cell lineage (98%), and the majority of these B cell lymphomas (58%) were histologically subtyped as diffuse large B cell lymphoma, which is considered to have an aggressive clinical course. An immunohistochemical panel was used in the majority of cases to confirm the lineage and to help characterize the subtype. B and T cell specific markers were used to show lineage of the neoplastic cells. Additional markers were used to help confirm specific subtypes that characteristically show specific positivity to some of these antibodies. Molecular studies to detect monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangements and Bcl-1 and Bcl-2 gene translocations were performed in cases in which the diagnosis was in question. The current WHO classification is also reviewed in detail.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are the third most common group of malignant lesions in the oral cavity and maxillofacial region. Most such lymphomas have been shown to be predominantly of B-lineage. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the clinical signs and symptoms and the clinical staging of B-cell NHL of this region. STUDY DESIGN Eighteen adults, with B-cell NHL manifestations of the oral cavity and maxillofacial region, were available for this study. The clinical stage according to the Ann Arbor system was assessed by history, physical, and laboratory examination. Hematoxylin and eosin--stained slides and paraffin blocks were available for all cases. Histologic diagnosis was based on the WHO classification of tumors. RESULTS The mean age of patients at the time of biopsy was 64 years. At the time of the disease presentation, according to the Ann Arbor system, 11 patients were in stage IE, 2 patients in stage IIE, 2 patients in stage IIIE, 1 patient in stage IVE, and 2 patients in stage IV. The typical clinical appearance was a painless local mass lateral or bilateral. Often there is a superficial ulceration of the tumor mass. Tonsillar NHL was the most frequent site occurring in 8 patients followed by NHL of the oral cavity, of the salivary glands, and of the mandible. Grading revealed that most cases were high grade (11 cases), followed by the cases of low grade (5 cases) and intermediate grade (2 cases). All the different histologic types may be observed, but the most frequently encountered is the diffuse large type. CONCLUSIONS The B-cell NHL may involve both osseous and soft tissues of the oral cavity and maxillofacial region. The favored sites are tonsils, palatal mucosa and parotid glands. The typical clinical appearance is a painless local mass lateral or bilateral. Often there is a superficial ulceration of the tumor mass. According to the Ann Arbor system, the majority of the cases at the time of diagnosis are in stage I or II. Most patients have high grade disease. All the different histologic types may be observed, but the most frequently encountered is the diffuse large type.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) often show up in an extranodal pattern, especially in the head and neck. Intraoral locations are much less frequent, particularly when they are single. This, in turn, can lead to a prolonged diagnosis and even to inadequate treatment. Different patients with initial extranodal location of NHL which were not previously diagnosed and in which it was manifested only intraorally are presented in this paper. These cases are presented together with the additional examinations used for the early diagnosis and with the corresponding clinical pictures, as well as with the overview of other cases from the available literature.

Abstract
A case of multiple myeloma causing profuse bleeding during a minor dental surgical procedure is presented. The value of dental radiography in detection of bone changes associated with an undiagnosed case of multiple myeloma is highlighted. We show that the extensive bleeding during the dental procedure could have been prevented if the panoramic radiograph had been evaluated carefully before initiation of the treatment. In addition, we briefly discuss the etiologic factors responsible for the formation of hemostatic abnormalities in multiple myeloma and the value of imaging methods used in diagnostic assessment of the disease.

Abstract
Extranodal presentation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is uncommon, and the mandible is very rarely involved. Primary NHL of the mandible, for the most part, has intermediate or high malignancy and has a much greater incidence of local recurrence compared with other sites of involvement. A 48-year-old Japanese man with NHL of the mandible received radiotherapy, followed by high-dose chemotherapy supported with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). High-dose cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, and vincristine were used for pretransplant conditioning. He achieved complete remission and has survived in continuous complete remission for more than 72 months to date. Marrow-ablative chemotherapy facilitated by PBSCT is thought to be useful as part of the primary therapy for patients with NHL who have poorer prognoses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) comprises a group of malignant lymphoproliferative diseases characterized by clonal expansion of lymphocytes at various levels of ontogenetic development. The aim of this study was to review the immunohistochemical and cytogenetic features of 10 cases of NLH of the jaws to determine their respective derivation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Histopathologic and immunohistochemical review of 10 cases of large-cell lymphomas of the jaws, together with Southern blot analysis of 2 of the cases, was performed and results compared with the findings in the literature. RESULTS In the 10 cases studied, the average age of onset of the NHL was 51 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 3:2. Tumefaction was the first clinical sign of disease. Eight of 10 cases were high-grade, large-cell NHLs, centroblastic type. Two cases were high-grade, large-cell NHL, immunoblastic type. CONCLUSION The immunohistochemical and Southern blot data remain the principal laboratory aids in the diagnosis and characterization of NHL, and they provide critical information for guiding clinicians to the appropriate treatment protocol for these malignancies.

Abstract
Two cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that show a sarcomatoid pattern within the jaw are described. Their primary origin in bone was demonstrated by radiologic studies. In one case, diagnosis was delayed because the clinical picture suggested inflammatory periodontal disease. In both cases, the histologic picture was similar to that of a sarcomatoid neoplasm with intense stromal sclerosis; hemimandibulectomy was performed in one case. The tumor contained cells with large, irregular, sometimes lobulated nuclei and high mitotic activity, and perforated mandibular bone with infiltration into adjacent soft tissues. The lymphoid nature of these neoplasms was demonstrated by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study.

Abstract
Twenty-seven extranodal oral lymphomas were subclassified according to the National Institutes of Health International Working Formulation. Immunophenotypes were then determined by means of an ABC technique with newly generated antibodies that identify fixation-resistant antigens on lymphoid cells. Diffuse small and large cell lymphomas were the most frequently identified subtypes. B-cell-associated antibody, L26, stained a majority of tumor cells in all lymphomas. Although 4KB5 was a less consistent B-cell marker, it stained most lymphomas. Reactive T-cell infiltrates, identified with antibodies MT1, UCHL-1, anti-CD3, and OPD4, varied from slight to intense. MT1 occasionally showed cross-reactivity with neoplastic B cells. No "histiocytic" lymphomas were found, but reactive macrophage infiltrates were identified in many lymphomas with monoclonal antibody KP1. In view of the immunohistochemical results, all lymphomas were believed to be of B-cell origin. Although antibody panels of the type used in this study can be effective in subtyping routinely processed oral lymphomas, careful interpretation is required because of reactive T-cell infiltrates.

Abstract
The incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is relatively high. However, there have been few reports on the clinical and histopathological features of oral manifestations of NHL in these patients. The lesions reported so far were all tumorous swellings with or without ulceration, as in non-HIV-infected patients. In this report 3 cases are presented of HIV-infected patients with solitary, primary oral NHL. These lesions showed a striking resemblance to acute, necrotizing gingivitis, a common finding in these patients, thus making the diagnosis more difficult.

Abstract
Although endodontists concern themselves primarily with inflammatory disease, constant vigilance should be maintained so that the diagnosis of periradicular malignant disease is not delayed. This article reviews oral lymphoma and presents two cases that illustrate the difficulty that can be encountered in establishing a timely and accurate diagnosis. Suggestions for maximizing the chances of early differentiation of inflammatory from malignant disease are presented. The role of the biopsy and its limitations are offered.
