In this case report, a patient who admitted to our clinic for the treatment of two lesions localized on the mandible, which in real were both B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) lesions according to histopatological examination, is presented. A 71 year old male patient admitted to our clinic for the treatment of two painless and rapidly developing lesions localized on the mandible. Intraoral examination revealed a mass on the anterior, and a swelling associated with three molar teeth at the posterior region of the mandible. According to the histopatolocial examination, the lesions were found to be B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma’s, and subsequently the patient was referred to the Oncology department to receive detailed examination and treatment. The patient was found to be at the terminal stage and had metastases of lymphoma. Primary or metastastic NHL lesions could be present in the oral cavity, therefore oncologists and dentists should be aware of this situation.Keywords: Lenfoma; mandibula; radyografiTurkiye Klinikleri J Dental Sci 2008, 14:52-56
