Diffuse large b-cell lymphoma in the upper lip: case report
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are uncommon in the mouth; however, they are the commonest type of non-Hodgkin lymphomas at this site. Preferentially, they affect tonsils and their occurrence in the upper lip is rare. This work reports a case of DLBCL arising in the left upper lip of a 73-year-old white woman that was recently diagnosed as having advanced breast cancer besides being a carrier of Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. The mucosal surface of the upper lip displayed a solitary, fast-growing, painful, ulcerated, reddish, and sessile 4-cm-sized swelling without cervical lymph node involvement at presentation.
