Abstract:

This case report discusses a case of a patient with past history of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) who developed pain and paresthesia in the oral cavity associated with a tooth. The close collaboration between the oral medicine providers and the oncologists, lead to the diagnosis of a relapse of NHL, not only in the oral cavity but other body sites. The management of the case with chemotherapy leads to the elimination of the pain and paresthesia in the mouth and the resolution of all relapsed
lesions without the need to perform a dental extraction of the involved tooth.

Keywords:
