“…[ 11 13 ] HLs involve the lymph nodes predominantly and only approximately 5% arise in extranodal sites, whereas 30% of NHLs present in extranodal sites. [ 11 13 14 ] Marginal-zone lymphoma has an affinity for ocular adnexa, salivary glands, larynx and thyroid gland. DLBCL in the oral cavity is considered to be a high-grade lymphoma.…”

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a lymphoproliferative malignancy that can involve both lymph node and lymphoid organs as well as extranodal organs and tissues. The aim of presenting this case of NHL is to highlight the suspicion of its occurrence in the region of unhealed extraction sockets and the significance of its awareness. NHL can be presented in various forms; therefore, a thorough knowledge regarding this malignancy is essential for arriving at the earliest possible diagnosis and therapy for the patient.

“…The predominance of DLBCL has been explained in the oral cavity as a natural inclination for this site (1,2,5,15). In the oral cavity, DLBCL has been reported in several regions such as buccal mucosa, hard palate, gingiva, and in addition, maxillary vestibule was a characteristic site for the presence of tumors of the soft tissue (1,6). In literature, the primary intrabony region of DLBCL is rare and has been expressed in both the maxilla and mandible (6)(7)(8).…”

In literature, the primary intrabony region of DLBCL is rare and has been expressed in both the maxilla and mandible (6)(7)(8). For DLBCL, the most characteristic symptoms are pain (55%), swelling of the jaw (58%), and mental dysesthesias (20%).…”

The Waldeyer's ring shares many of the histopatological tendencies with the rest of mucosa-related lymphoid tissue, such as a high DLBCL

“…Immunohistochemistry is necessary to differentiate between benign lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphomatous lesion (9) as well as identifying the subtype of lymphoma.Lymphomas are usually submucosal as compared to squamous cell carcinoma which apprears ulcerative. Other differential diagnosis than oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma includes benign lymphoid hyperplasia, epulis, gingivitis, pregnancy granuloma, vascular-angio granuloma, HIV-related oral lesion and tuberculosis should be considered (10).…”

Extranodal lymphoma of the oral cavity accounts for 3.5% of all oral cavity malignancies. Its rarity poses a challenge to clinicians in diagnosing this entity in the clinical setting. Common sites of extranodal lymphoma are in the gastrointestinal tract. In the oral cavity, palatine tonsils predominates the site of origin as the histology of the Weldeyer's ring structure is composed mainly of lymphoid follicles. Herein, we are reporting a case of an elderly gentleman who presented with a history of loosening of teeth followed by painless swelling over the hard palate which turned out to be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Histopathological with further immunohistochemistry study revealed a B-cell type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Albeit rare, extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ought to be considered as a differential diagnosis for oral cavity tumour especially with a palatal swelling post-tooth extraction.
