“…Complete resection of the tumor during the surgery can achieve therapeutic effects and reduce the adverse reactions and economic burden caused by chemoradiotherapy [ 9 ]. In patients with localized low-grade lymphomas affecting the exocrine glands, surgery alone can be an option [ 4 , 9 , 11 ]. Moreover, chemoradiotherapy can cause and aggravate the symptoms of xerostomia, causing deterioration of oral hygiene, swallowing function, taste, and voice, forming a vicious cycle [ 9 ].…”

“…NHLs are a part of a heterogeneous group of malignant lymphocytic neoplasms whose prevalence has recently been increasing [ 2 ]. Primary oral cavity non-Hodgkin lymphoma is very rare and manifests in approximately 3%-5% of all NHLs [ 3 , 4 ]. Oral mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is frequent in males, with the age ranging from 3 to 96 years [ 1 ].…”

“…The most affected anatomical regions are the stomach (30%), orbit (12%), skin (10%), and lungs (9%) [ 5 ]. Lymphomas of the salivary glands represent around 1.7%-3.1% of all salivary gland neoplasms and the incidence is 79% in the parotid glands, 18% in the submandibular glands, 2% in the minor salivary glands, and 1% in the sublingual glands [ 4 , 6 ].…”

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a type of B-cell lineage lymphoma that can affect the head and neck region. This report presents a rare case of an extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell MALT lymphoma of a sublingual gland, diagnosed in an 18-year-old male patient. The patient had a history of ranula surgical removal on the right side of the mouth. One year after surgery, the patient presented with complaints of swelling of the left parotid gland, with no significant changes found during the examination and a self-resolving outcome. Subsequently, two years later, the patient began to complain of a fast-growing cyst under the tongue. A surgical excision of the left sublingual gland and the ranula was performed, and a final diagnosis of MALT lymphoma was rendered. The patient was referred to the department of hematology for further treatment planning and follow-up.

“…The clinical manifestations of intraoral FL are mostly masses or swelling of the oral mucosa [ 32 ]. This case serves as the initial report of FL presenting as scattered erosions and proliferative lesions in the oral mucosa.…”

“…Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) is a special type of lymphoma which frequently involves the head and neck region, and about 20–25% of NHL are diagnosed as FL [ 31 ]. Orally, FL typically presents as masses or swelling of the oral mucosa, which is a non-specific presentation among oral mucosal diseases, thus triggering difficulties and complexities in diagnosis [ 32 ]. The final diagnosis of this case was made through a combination of the clinical manifestations, thorough medical history enquiry, radiographic examination, multi-disciplinary cooperation, and pathological findings, exemplifying the diagnostic logistics of such complicated cases.…”

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.
