Abstract:
This report presents a case of a mandibular premolar with a vital pulp and a periapical radiolucent lesion in a patient with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Biopsy of the lesion revealed an infiltrate of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the mandible, which is quite rare. This lesion may have portended a worsening of the patient's condition and downgrading of her prognosis.
