To report a case of oral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a delayed diagnosis.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the oral cavity is an uncommon but important condition. Early diagnosis is complicated when the presenting signs and symptoms are similar to those of odontogenic infections. This report describes the case of a 38-year-old female patient who presented to her dentist complaining of pain in her upper jaw. Subsequent dental treatment, including extraction, root canal treatment and apicectomy including biopsy were carried out by the patient's dentist and local dental hospital. Nine months elapsed before a more extensive surgical exploration established a diagnosis of lymphoma.
报告一例延迟诊断的口腔非霍奇金淋巴瘤病例。
口腔非霍奇金淋巴瘤虽不常见但很重要。当表现出的体征和症状与牙源性感染相似时，早期诊断较为复杂。本报告描述了一例 38 岁女性患者的病例，她因上颌疼痛就诊于牙医。随后，患者的牙医和当地牙科医院进行了包括拔牙、根管治疗和根尖切除术及活检在内的牙科治疗。9 个月后，更广泛的手术探查才明确诊断为淋巴瘤。
