Primary Non Hodgkin s Lymphoma (NHL) usually arises within the lymphnodes, but 20-30% account for extra nodal sites. Oral cavity, as a primary extra nodal site for NHL, is relatively rare and diverse in presentation, response to therapy and prognosis. We report a 14 year old adolescent girl who presented with multiple gingival swellings, the most prominent one being in the right anterior maxilla. Gingival biopsy showed NHL- diffuse large B cell type. Child was completely cured with chemotherapy and now she is in complete remission and under regular follow up.
原发性非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)通常起源于淋巴结,但20%-30%发生于结外部位。口腔作为NHL的原发性结外部位相对少见,其临床表现、对治疗的反应及预后各不相同。我们报告一名14岁青春期女孩,她出现多处牙龈肿胀,最明显的一处位于右上颌前部。牙龈活检显示为弥漫大B细胞型NHL。该患儿通过化疗完全治愈,目前处于完全缓解状态并接受定期随访。
