Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is designated as an acquired immune deficiency syndrome defining condition. Although uncommon, it is essential to be wary of this neoplasm since intraoral manifestations may be the first clinical manifestation of HIV disease. The gingiva is one of the rarest intraoral sites with a prevalence of 0.6%. Careful evaluation of patients presenting with solitary atypical gingival mass can lead to early detection of HIV disease. Here, we report a case of NHL manifesting as a gingival mass in a 45-year-old HIV-positive female patient.
非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)被指定为获得性免疫缺陷综合征的定义性疾病。虽然不常见,但必须警惕这种肿瘤,因为口腔内表现可能是HIV疾病的首发临床表现。牙龈是最罕见的口腔内部位之一,患病率为0.6%。对出现孤立性非典型牙龈肿物的患者进行仔细评估可导致HIV疾病的早期发现。在此,我们报告一例45岁HIV阳性女性患者表现为牙龈肿物的NHL病例。
