title: Spontaneous regression of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the oral cavity after incisional biopsy.
abstract: We report a case of gingival T cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that responded initially to chemotherapy, recurred at another site a year later, but regressed spontaneously after incisional biopsy. We are not aware of any other reports about spontaneous regression of T cell lymphomas in the oral cavity.
