“…Up to 40% of NHL occurs in extranodal sites, with five percent of these occurring in bones [12, 14]. Of these, two to three percent may occur primarily in the oral cavity and jaws [15]. DLBCL involves the oral cavity in only 0.1% of cases.…”

Raoultella planticola osteomyelitis is rarely reported in the literature. The most likely source in our case is the oral microbiome secondary to the tooth extraction. Herein we present a case of Raoultella planticola osteomyelitis of the jaw that leads to the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the jaw. A 75-year-old male with no significant medical history, presented to the emergency department with right upper jaw pain after he had a tooth extraction a week before his presentation. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the face showed concerns of right maxillary osteomyelitis with soft tissue swelling and prominent cervical lymph nodes. He underwent a bone biopsy of the maxilla and was started on intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam. His bone culture grew pan-sensitive Raoultella planticola. in addition to that, his bone biopsy revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the jaw. The patient underwent staging imaging, and he was found to have metastasis to the liver. He was started on chemotherapy and had a good response. In conclusion, Raoultella planticola osteomyelitis is extremely rare. The diagnosis of maxillary DLBCL can be a challenge. Fortunately, our patient had an infection at the same site that led to the diagnosis of DLBCL.
