Abstract

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is the commonest among all forms of Lymphomas. It may manifest with nodal and extranodal involvement. Salivary glands, waldeyer’s ring, paranasal sinuses are the common sites of extranodal involvement in the head and neck region. Gingiva, buccal mucosa and palate are the intraoral sites of extranodal involvement. Oral manifestations include painful and mobile teeth, gingival or mucosal swellings which may mimic odontogenic pathologies. Intraoral and orbital presentation of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a sign of aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Lymphomas have a possibility of relatively early diagnosis with systematic examination of oral tissues and the head and neck region, and timely histopathological and radiological investigations. Keywords: Extranodal, NonHodgkin’s Lymphoma, Optic nerve.
