Abstract

Malignant lymphoma is a neoplasm arising from the lymph node and lymphoid tissues.This tumor occurs frequently in the head and neck, but it occurs rarely in the oral cavity.
Recently, we experienced one case of malignant lymphoma arising from the gingiva of upper jaw in a 59 year-old man, and reported on it with some comments based on the existing literature.
He was treated by intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical excision.
Histopathologically, a diffuse lymphoma of medium sized cell type was diagnosed based on LSG classification (Lymphoma-Study-Groupe, 1979).
