CARLOS BORTOLUZZI, Marcelo et al. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the oral cavity. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2010, vol.47, n.3, pp.341-346. ISSN 0034-7507.

The authors report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBL) of the oral cavity. The patient was a 73-year-old white man who first presented at the Division of Stomatology with a large nodular mass in the hard palate and a nodular lesion in the upper lip, which were diagnosed as DLBL. The patient was treated with eight cycles of CHOP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone), but the disease recurred 22 months after the end of the therapy. Both primary sites hard palate and upper lip were involved again and the patient was resubmitted to chemotherapy.
