Follicular Lymphoma of the Hard Palate

Abstract

Follicular lymphoma usually involves lymph nodes, but can involve extra nodal sites. Oral lymphomas are relatively rare and often difficult to diagnose in a clinical setting. A case of non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of the hard palate that had undergone external beam radiation therapy and was found to be well one year following treatment is observed.
