Primary Hodgkin's disease of the mandible: a case report and review of the literature.
Extranodal presentation in Hodgkin's disease is uncommon and bone involvement is rare at diagnosis. However, late in the course of this disease, bone involvement may occur in 9% to 35% of the cases. The mandible is very rarely involved even in advanced stages with only seven such cases reported in the literature. Of these only one had primary Hodgkin's disease of the mandible. A second case is described in this report.
