Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has the propensity to affect non-lymphoid tissue including oral tissue. Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the mandible mistreated as chronic periodontitis with diffuse enlargement of the mandibular canal and ice-cold numbness is very rarely described in English medical literature. A 57-year-old patient presented with a painful swelling on the left side of the mandible with a clinically chronic periodontitis associated with ice-cold numbness. A panoramic radiograph showed a diffuse uniform enlargement of the mandibular canal. Histological examination showed that the lesion was a primary intraosseous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the mandible. Immunohistochemical examination showed a positive reaction for CD20+, Ki-67+. Seven months after chemotherapy the patient was observed for possible life-threatening propagation of the disease. In conclusion, primary (extra-nodal) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the mandible usually clinically presents with bone swelling, teeth mobility and neurological disturbance. Radiographic features presenting as diffuse enlargement of the mandibular canal could be considered as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Kratak sadržaj. Uvod. Sella turcica je deo kranijalne baze u kome je smeštena hipofiza. Smatra se da postoji korelacija izmedju veličine kranijalne baze a samim tim i sella turcice kao njenog sastavnog dela i malokluzija. UvodKranijalna baza predstavlja osnovu na kojoj se razvija humano lice i brojna istraživanja pokazuju da dimenzije srednje kranijalne fose utiču na odnose izmedju nazomaksilarnog kompleksa i malokluzija. 1,2 U kranijalnoj bazi, u centru sella turcika (ST) nalazi se jedna od najčešće korišćenih kranijalnih tačaka u kefalometriji, pod istoimenim nazivom -sella turcica. U anatomskom delu sella turcice smeštena je hipofiza.Kefalometrijska ispitivanja osoba sa patologijom hipofize mogu, u nekim slučajevima, po- Abstract Introduction. Sella turcica is a part of cranial base where the pituitary is located. It is believed that there is a correlation between the size of the cranial base and thus sella turcica as its integral part and the malocclusions. The goal of this study was to determine the linear dimensions of ST by radiological analysis of different malocclusions, to determine the existence of sexual dimorphism and to determine the connection between
