SANTOS, Fabiano de Sant'ana dos et al. T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the mandible: a case report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.2, pp.19-24. ISSN 1808-5210.

T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare, complex disease, and the population affected has been increasing in recent years according to recent studies. Patients with immunologic abnormalities are more susceptible to lymphomas and, recently, some patients affected by viral diseases have also been included in the risk group for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The aim of this study was to report a rare case of non-Hodgkin T-cell expression in the jaw diagnosed in a young patient and to highlight the important role of health professionals in the recognition of maxillomandibular neoplasms.
