Extranodal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas of the Oral Cavity

  • Chapter
Oral Pathology

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 90))

Abstract

Lymphomas are malignant neoplasms of component cells of lymphoid tissues. A broad division of the group into Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is widely accepted. Hodgkin’s disease is primarily a nodal disease characterised by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells and a lymphoid stroma composed of large numbers of non-neoplastic cells (Bonadonna et al. 1989). The condition rarely affects extranodal sites and will not be discussed here.
