Abstract
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) comprise a group of extremely diverse lymphoproliferative neoplamas that have a predisposition for extranodal sites. Amongst the extranodal locations rare involvement of oral cavity has been reported and occurrence of these neoplasms on the cheek are thin on the ground. The most commonly encountered is the Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The B-cell neoplasms are clonal tumors of mature and immature B cells and the relatedness of B-cell lymphomas to normal B-cell counterparts forms a key aspect in their nomenclature of classification. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL, NOS), consists of medium-sized to large B cells with a diffuse growth pattern. This lesion is a morphologically and molecularly heterogeneous entity which does not meet the diagnostic criteria of any specific large B-cell lymphoma neoplasms. Amongst the cases of DLBCL in n the head and neck region involvement of cheek/ buccal mucosa is scarce.
