“…This feature however was still most commonly seen in BL. Another noteworthy finding was the presence of bone involvement in cases of plasmablastic lymphoma, as recently described by Nel et al 27 who showed a predilection for the posterior region of the maxilla 28 . Plasmablastic lymphoma bone involvement presented radiologically with poorly demarcated borders, loss of cortical integrity and cortical erosion or destruction, rather than cortical expansion.…”

Background: This systematic review aimed to investigate the radiological features of lymphomas and leukaemias affecting the jaws.Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Articles that contained sufficient radiographic examinations (periapical, panoramic or computed tomography images) for individual cases were included. Additionally, either immunohistochemical or molecular confirmation was required prior to inclusion. Three authors evaluated and described the image quality and radiological features.Results: From an initial 1079 articles screened, 129 cases were included, containing 88 tomographic, 76 panoramic and 26 periapical examinations. The quality of the majority of images was sufficient for evaluation. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, leukemic infiltration, plasmablastic lymphoma and extranodal Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type were the most common subtypes. Involved teeth presented with mobility in 37.2% of the cases and a provisional diagnosis of inflammatory/infectious dental disease was considered in 49.2% of cases. Computed tomography exams were available for 76% of the cases, with most presented with an osteolytic lesion with ill-defined borders. Periosteal reactions were uncommon. Conclusion:Lymphoma/leukaemia infiltrates of the jaw bones are usually of highgrade subtypes and rarely present with periosteal reactions.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an uncommon and aggressive large B‐cell lymphoma that affects immunocompromised individuals. The orofacial region is the most commonly affected site. The primary aim of the article was to review systematically, the cases of oral PBL and consolidate their clinic‐pathological, and molecular characteristics, rehabilitation, and outcome in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐infected individuals. An electronic literature search was done and 28 articles with a total of 32 cases, of which 27 patients were adults and 5 were pediatrics were included in the review based on the inclusion criteria. Oral PBL was found to be common in HIV‐affected males, frequently involving the gingiva. Histopathology revealed monomorphic neoplastic atypical cells with plasmablastic features and cohesive growth patterns. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong positivity for CD138, and CD 79a. The prognosis of oral PBL in patients with HIV was poor in both adult and pediatric age groups, however, pediatric age groups showed a worse prognosis. Hence, it is crucial to correctly diagnose oral PBL, surgically treat the patients along with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, and start ART in HIV‐positive individuals.
