Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate oral lymphomas' clinical manifestations and investigate whether clinical features are associated with lymphoma subtypes. STUDY DESIGN Oral lymphomas with at least 1 representative clinical image were evaluated. They were classified according to their microscopic grade (high vs low), predominant cell size (small vs medium/large), and cellular lineage (B cell vs T cell). Clinical images were described according to tumor location, number, swelling, ulcer, necrosis, telangiectasia, predominant color, and lobulation. Lymphomas affecting the palate were compared with salivary gland tumors (SGTs) affecting this location. RESULTS Data from 107 cases were included. High-grade subtypes (80.4%), with medium/large-sized cells (52.3%), and diagnosed as diffuse large B cell lymphomas (29%) predominated. High-grade lymphomas often presented as painful, ulcerative, and osteolytic diseases (P < .05). Tumors predominantly composed of medium/large-sized cells were associated with painful lesions, ulcerated, with necrosis and bone destruction (P < .05). When only palate tumors were considered, multiple and bilateral lesions, the presence of pain, ulceration, and necrosis were significantly more associated with a diagnosis of lymphoma than SGT (P < .001). CONCLUSION High-grade oral lymphomas are more associated with destructive presentation than low-grade subtypes, and bilateral lesions in the palate are more associated with a lymphoma diagnosis than SGT.

Follicular lymphoma manifests as multiple erosive and proliferative lesions of the oral mucosa: case report and brief literature review. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:514.

Abstract
Background Erosion is one of the most common and basic lesions of oral mucosal diseases. Long-term refractory oral erosions, induced by autoimmune blistering diseases, infectious diseases, malignant diseases, and some rare conditions, may substantially reduce the quality of life of patients or even constitute a life-threatening condition, resulting in a clinical dilemma regarding the accurate diagnosis and precise management of these diseases. As a special type of malignant lymphoma, most lesions of follicular lymphoma (FL) in the oral mucosa present as masses or swelling of the oral mucosa, while emerging novel presentations lead to intractable diagnoses. Hence, diagnostic algorithms for such diseases are clinically required. Case presentation A 55-year-old female patient presented to the clinic with long-lasting oral mucosal erosions and proliferative lesions. Blood tests, pathological examinations of oral lesions including haematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining, and direct immunofluorescence precluded all of the potential diagnoses described previously. Unexpectedly, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and abdominal CT of the patient revealed a dense mass in the retroperitoneal area, and the final diagnosis of the retroperitoneal mass was FL. After three courses of chemotherapy conducted by the haematologist, the erosion and proliferative lesions in the patient's oral mucosa had significantly improved. HE and immunohistochemical staining results of intraoral lesions also confirmed it as oral FL. The successful diagnosis of FL in this case is of great clinical significance, as the oral and abdominal FL were treated in a timely manner to avoid unfavourable outcomes. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of FL that exhibited widespread erosions interspersed with proliferative lesions. Clinicians should be aware of oral FL or seek systemic factors in the presence of similar refractory oral erosions when treatment is non-responsive and the diagnosis is intractable.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a well-defined, non-Hodgkin lymphoma of B-cell origin displaying diverse morphological phenotypes and variable disease course. The World Health Organization recognizes two aggressive histopathologic variants of this type of lymphoma: pleomorphic and blastoid MCL. To date, only few cases of MCL affecting the oral cavity have been reported. Additionally, the involvement of the oral and maxillofacial area by aggressive MCL subsets is considered extremely rare with only two patients reported in the English language literature to the best of our knowledge. Herein, we describe a 69 year-old male with a prior history of MCL of the right lateral pharyngeal wall developing a recurrent lesion extending to the palatal mucosa as diffuse ulceration and exhibiting histomorphological features of blastoid MCL. We also review the pertinent literature with emphasis on the diagnostic challenges and distinction between the different MCL variants.

Hum Pathol 2021; 118:60-68. [PMID: 34655612 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2021.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
We report 83 cases of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) involving the tonsil as initial manifestation (IM). The median age at the time of tonsillar involvement was 58 years (range, 35-79 years). Most (85%) patients presented similar to acute tonsillitis. Lymphadenopathy (84%) and advanced stage of disease (81%) were frequent. With a median follow-up of 6.1 years (range, 0.5-18.4 years), the median overall survival (OS) was 11.3 years for all patients. Cases with classic MCL morphology demonstrated a superior OS (median OS: 11.7 years versus 7.8 years for aggressive morphology, P = 0.0361). Approximately 20% of patients had limited stage of disease, and they had excellent outcomes (median OS: not reached versus 11.3 years for advanced-stage MCL, P = 0.0479). All the patients were alive after a median follow-up of 6.6 years (range, 1-16.2 years). There were no differences in relapse-free survival in morphology and stage (P > 0.05). When tonsils were involved by relapsed MCL, patients less commonly had acute tonsillitis-like symptoms, lymphadenopathy, and advanced stage of disease compared to MCL as IM. Patients in the relapse group had poorer OS than patients in the IM group from the time of tonsillar involvement by MCL to the date of death or last follow-up (7.8 versus 11.7 years, P = 0.003). Compared with a group of 93 patients whose initial biopsy specimen was a lymph node, patients whose initial biopsy specimen was tonsil had similar OS (11.7 versus 8.8 years, P = 0.1764). However, patients with tonsillar MCL more commonly had limited stage disease (19% versus 8%, P = 0.0385) and a low-risk Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score (71% versus 47%, P = 0.0025).
