Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the mandible with periosteal reaction: a case report.
This report describes a rare case of a 63-year-old man with a lymphoma in the right mandibular ramus with periosteal reaction. Computed tomography (CT) images showed a soft tissue density (28 × 48 × 32 mm) around the right mandibular foramen. Bone-mode CT images showed diffuse bone destruction of the right mandibular ramus. Moreover, a periosteal reaction was seen on the lingual cortical bone of the right mandibular ramus. Histopathologic examination found a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
