Conclusion
Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mandibular lesions due to its potential for misdiagnosis.
Supporting Evidence
- Primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of the mandible are rare, accounting for only 0.6% of isolated cases.
- The patient initially misdiagnosed with osteomyelitis showed a large radiolucent lesion in the mandible.
- Histological examination confirmed a B-Cell lymphoma through immunohistochemical staining.
Takeaway
This study talks about a rare type of cancer that can happen in the jaw, which can be hard to identify because it looks like other problems.
Methodology
The case report includes clinical examination, imaging studies, and histopathological evaluation.
Limitations
The follow-up period was short, and the patient refused further treatment.
Participant Demographics
A 53-year-old male.
