Abstract
Malignant lymphomas of the oral cavity are uncommon lesions and account for 3.5 % of all oral malignancies. In the literature, only a few cases of primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma arising from oral cavity have been described. Here we report a case and diagnostic challenge of a MALT lymphoma of the hard palate and tonsil.
Özet
Oral kavitenin malign lezyonları yaygın değildir ve bütün oral malignitelerin 3.5 %' ini oluştururlar. Literatürde, az sayıda primer olarak ağızda ortaya çıkan mukoza ile ilişkili lenfoid doku (MALT) vakası bildirilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda, damak ve tonsilde gelişen MALT lenfomaya tanı konulma aşamalarını anlattık.
