    Summary

    Two cases of oral lymphoma in individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were identified. Gum biopsies confirmed high-grade, B-type lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin lymphoma, highlighting a rare manifestation in AIDS patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Immunology
    • Oral Pathology

    Background:

    • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is characterized by severe immune suppression.
    • Lymphomas, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), are known opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals.
    • Oral manifestations are common in AIDS but lymphomas of the oral mucosa are rare.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of drug addicts diagnosed with AIDS presented with oral lymphoma.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via gum biopsy.
    • Histopathological analysis revealed high-grade, B-cell lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    Findings:

    • The oral mucosa is an uncommon site for lymphoma development.
    • In patients with AIDS and other immunodeficiencies, oral lymphomas occur with increased frequency.
    • This suggests a correlation between profound immune suppression and the manifestation of oral lymphomas.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of oral lymphomas is crucial in the management of AIDS patients.
    • Oral biopsies can aid in the diagnosis of systemic conditions like AIDS.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the pathogenesis and optimize treatment strategies for oral lymphomas in immunocompromised individuals.
