Plasmablastic lymphoma of the oral cavity: a case series
This study described the clinical and histopathologic data of 6 cases diagnosed as oral plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) retrieved from the files of 2 Brazilian oral pathology services from 2000 to 2018. The mean age at presentation was 41.5 years, with a male predominance of 2:1. Involved sites were the palate, maxillary mucosa, and mandibular mucosa. All cases presented as a combination of ill-defined swellings and ulcers, with pain or bleeding. Histopathologic features revealed the proliferation of large cells, with round to ovoid eccentric nuclei, and peripheral nucleoli, as well as plasmablastic cells with prominent nucleoli.
