Early diagnosis of an isolated primary peripheral T-cell lymphoma masquerading as massive gingival enlargement in a pediatric patient.
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology : JOMFP 2017 September
Lymphomas are malignant neoplasm of the lymphocyte cell lines, classified as either Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). NHL comprises a heterogeneous group of lymphoid neoplasm arising from B-cell, T-cell or natural killer cell with a spectrum of behavior ranging from relatively indolent to highly aggressive and potentially fatal. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, a variant of NHL, is a disease characterized by the presence of diffuse lymphadenopathy, extranodal involvement, classical B symptoms such as fever (>100.4°F) for 3 consecutive days, weight loss exceeding 10% of body weight in 6 months and drenching night sweats with a tendency for recurrence. Among NHLs, extranodal presentations are relatively common. Extranodal presentation particularly in the oral cavity is very rare and may misinterpret the diagnosis. Lesions of this type should be cautiously dealt especially in pediatric patients and young adolescents. The present case report is about an atypical presentation of disease process in a 15-year-old male patient, which was diagnosed early with the help of a combination of histopathology and immunohistochemistry techniques.
