title: Lymphoma: an unusual oral presentation.
abstract: A lymphoma which was originally diagnosed as an inflammatory process is reported. A brief review of lymphoma's etiology, predilection for the oral cavity, and similarities to inflammation is presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the premise that an initial benign diagnosis may not be accurate and that monitoring patients is essential in any disease entity whether benign or malignant.
