[Manifestation of a highly malignant B-cell lymphoma simulating osteomyelitis of the mandible].
A case of precursor B-cell lymphoma of unusual location in the mandible is presented. Clinical features as well as technical examinations led to the misdiagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis. Only immunohistological examination of intraoperatively taken biopsies was able to reveal the true diagnosis. High-dose chemotherapy was started and full remission could be achieved.
