Lymphomas are heterogeneous malignancies of the lymphatic system characterized by lymphoid cell proliferation. They can broadly be divided into Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-HL (NHL). NHL can originate from B, T or natural killer lymphocytes. Extranodal presentation of T-cell NHL is extremely rare and is often seen in immunocompromised individuals. Here, we report a rare case of T-cell lymphoma of the oral cavity in a 13-year-old patient. The patient was diagnosed to have T-cell lymphoma on the basis of biopsy and immunohistochemistry and was referred to the oral surgery department for definite treatment.
淋巴瘤是淋巴系统的异质性恶性肿瘤，其特征为淋巴细胞增殖。它们大致可分为霍奇金淋巴瘤（HL）和非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）。NHL可起源于B细胞、T细胞或自然杀伤淋巴细胞。T细胞NHL的结外表现极为罕见，常见于免疫功能低下的个体。在此，我们报告一例13岁患者口腔T细胞淋巴瘤的罕见病例。该患者经活检和免疫组化被诊断为T细胞淋巴瘤，并被转诊至口腔外科进行明确治疗。
