Primary lymphoma of the mandible with diffuse widening of the mandibular canal: report of a case
Abstract
A case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the mandible with unusual radiographic presentation is reported. The panoramic radiography revealed diffuse widening of the right mandibular canal with ill-defined margins and absence of edge sclerosis. Computed tomography showed infiltration of the superior portion of the canal with involvement of the vestibular cortex of the bone and of the alveolar ridge.
