[Primary location on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the jaw: a case study]

A rare case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the jaw is reported. Precise diagnosis of such primary manifestation of NHL may pose a diagnostic problem due to unspecific clinical and radiological findings as well as difficult interpretation of biopsy specimens. The prognosis is related to the clinical stage, tumour aggressiveness and response to treatment.
