Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting at the site of a recent dental extraction: a report of two cases.
Two cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are reported. The lesions presented as swellings at the site of recent dental extractions. The natural history of the lymphomas in these two patients was markedly contrasted, demonstrating the heterogeneity of NHL. The importance of establishing an early diagnosis and treatment of such lesions is stressed.
