Intrabony lymphoma simulating periradicular inflammatory disease.
Intrabony lymphoma can mimic periradicular inflammatory disease of pulpal origin. Mismanagement of such cases can result if the clinician presumes the condition is inflammatory and fails to submit a tissue specimen for evaluation. This article reviews the features of jaw lymphoma and documents the importance of early diagnosis and histopathologic examination.
