In a clinical context, oral lymphomas are very uncommon and frequently challenging to identify. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a diverse category of lymphomas that were formerly believed to be formed from B-cells located in the marginal zone, which surrounds B-cell follicles and the surrounding lymphoepithelium. Extranodal organs like the stomach, thyroid, and large salivary glands are where they most frequently appear. As a result, they are accurately identified as extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (ENMZL). This report presents a case of a 53-year-old female with lower lip swelling, which was diagnosed as a case of marginal low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after clinical, histopathological, and immunological examinations. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis can be aided by pathological examination and biopsy performed early in the lesion's development. The dentist has a key role to play in the early diagnosis process.
在临床环境中,口腔淋巴瘤非常罕见,且识别起来常常具有挑战性。黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤是一类多样的淋巴瘤,以前被认为是由位于边缘区的B细胞形成的,边缘区围绕着B细胞滤泡和周围的淋巴上皮。它们最常出现在胃、甲状腺和大唾液腺等结外器官。因此,它们被准确地识别为结外边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤(ENMZL)。本报告介绍了一例53岁女性下唇肿胀的病例,经临床、组织病理学和免疫学检查后,被诊断为边缘性低级别B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤。在病变发展早期进行病理检查和活检有助于非霍奇金淋巴瘤的诊断。牙医在早期诊断过程中起着关键作用。
