文摘
Most radiolucent jaw lesions are benign and resolve with proper diagnosis and treatment. However, a small percentage of radiolucent jaw lesions are malignant and more difficult to manage.
sSec_2">Methods
spara0015">A biopsy of the radiolucent jaw lesion associated with swelling after nonsurgical root canal therapy was submitted.
sSec_3">Results
spara0020">The lesion had the combined diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with cystic involvement. The patient has since undergone radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Recall appointments indicate healing of the lesion, and no other areas of lymphoma have been found.
sSec_4">Conclusions
spara0025">The existence of a nonhealing radiolucent jaw lesion emphasizes the importance of an early, definitive diagnosis with biopsy.
