Primary diffuse large b-cell lymphoma of the mandible: a case report

This report presents an intraosseous lymphoma that was previously misdiagnosed as periodontal disease. After 3 months of periodontal treatment in a private clinic, a 51-year-old male patient was referred to the stomatology department presenting mandibular swelling and paresthesia lasting 4 months. In his previous history, the patient reported prostatic cancer treated 3 years ago. During intraoral evaluation, an extensive mass with teeth mobility in the right mandible was observed. The radiographic examinations showed an extensive osteolytic lesion, with no limits and cortical perforation in the mandible.
