title: Primary malignant lymphoma of the mandible.
abstract: From 1945 through 1985, 32 cases of primary lymphoma of bone were treated at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Sixteen cases (50%) demonstrated the lesion in the long tubular bones with a predilection for the lower and upper extremities. The frequently involved flat bones (six cases) were the bones of the pelvis. There were only three cases (9%) where the mandible was the primary site. In this report, the literature is reviewed and three cases with primary lymphoma of the mandible are presented.
