“…Since the Waldayer ring is commonly involved by NHL that sometimes shows cells of Reed-Sternberg cell-like, the diagnosis of LH is difficult, especially when there are only small biopsy specimens [15, 16]. The most common site involved is the ring of Waldayer followed by the lips [17], tongue base [18, 19], buccal mucosa [20, 21], and parotid gland [22, 23]. …”

Lymphoproliferative disorders are heterogeneous malignancy characterized by the expansion of a lymphoid clone more or less differentiated. At the level of the oral cavity, the lymphoproliferative disorder can occur in various ways, most commonly as lymphoid lesions with extranodal externalization, but sometimes, oral lesions may represent a localization of a disease spread. With regard to the primary localizations of lymphoproliferative disorders, a careful examination of the head and neck, oral, and oropharyngeal area is necessary in order to identify suspicious lesions, and their early detection results in a better prognosis for the patient. Numerous complications have been described and frequently found at oral level, due to pathology or different therapeutic strategies. These complications require precise diagnosis and measures to oral health care. In all this, oral pathologists, as well as dental practitioners, have a central role in the treatment and long-term monitoring of these patients.

“…The differential diagnoses for the lesion presented in this case report were an acute microbial gingival infection, pathology of the maxillary sinus and squamous cell carcinoma. Identical and other possible differential diagnoses suggested by the previous case reports included squamous cell carcinoma, malignant lymphoma, malignant salivary gland tumour, malignant mesenchymal neoplasm and an infectious ulcer 5,20 .…”

“…Through a comprehensive review of the literature, we have identified a total of 36 cases of extranodal oral Hodgkin's lymphoma; of these cases, 11 were cases involving the palate or maxilla (excluding the tonsils). Finally, 4 cases of these 11 cases identified were presentations of primary (Stage I) extranodal oral Hodgkin's lymphoma originating from the palatal or maxillary soft tissues. However, the 2 earlier cases were reported prior to the introduction of immunohistological profiling, and therefore are not valid diagnoses of Hodgkin's lymphoma.…”

However, the 2 earlier cases were reported prior to the introduction of immunohistological profiling, and therefore are not valid diagnoses of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hence, 2 actual cases of primary (Stage I) extranodal oral Hodgkin's lymphoma originating from the palatal or maxillary soft tissues have been reported, the earliest in 1989 and the most recent in 2007.…”

Intraoral extranodal Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare. We present the case of a 66‐year‐old gentleman who was treated for necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis of the UR6 tooth by his dentist which failed to resolve. Biopsy and histopathology revealed that this was, in fact, a rare presentation of primary (Stage I) extranodal oral Hodgkin's lymphoma. We present this case, and a review of the relevant literature.

“…Hodgkin lymphoma, whether primary or relapsed, is rare in the oral soft tissues and jaws. We could trace only 12 reports of primary Hodgkin lymphoma occurring in the oral mucosa, [8,9,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and only a few occurring in the jaws [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Disseminated Hodgkin lymphoma involving the oral mucosa is said to be more common than primary lesions, however, we could trace only a few reports, citing 5 cases, involving the tongue, palate and tonsil [7][8][9][10].…”
