Abstract

Lymphomas are a class of invasive haematopoietic malignancy constituting 2.2% of all humours of the head and neck. Two major set of lymphomas are Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of which 90% are of the NHL group. The most frequently occuring NHL in the oral cavity is Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) which involves waldeyer’s ring, base of the tongue, buccal mucosa and hard palate. This paper underscores a case report of DLBCL complications and the characteristic features  which contributed to the diagnosis.
