3. Clinical Features
Systemic symptoms: Fever, night sweat, weight loss
fatigue, pruritis
Sign & symptom depend on site of involvement &
result from pressure of enlarged lymph node
Organ specific symptoms: shortness of breath, ches
pain, cough, abdominal pain & distension
Extranodal lesion are more common
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. Oral manifestations
Oral lesions: most commonly –posterior hard
palate, buccal vestibule, gingival
Rapidly growing swelling ,may ulcerate
Large, fungating, necrotic, foul-smelling masses
Underlying bone involvement: tooth mobility &
pain, paresthesia of mental nerve

5. Early soft palate lesion
Late lesion in same patient

6. Slowly growing palatal swelling in NHL,
but not involving bone

9. Clinical Ann Arbor staging
classification
Stage I - Involvement of a one lymph node
region (I) or single extralymphatic site (IE)
Stage II - Involvement of multiple node regions on
the same side of the diaphragm (II) or of one
lymph node region and a contiguous
extralymphatic site (IIE)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. Stage III - Involvement of lymph node regions
on both sides of the diaphragm, which may
include the spleen(IIIS) and/or limited to
contiguous extralymphatic organ or site (IIIE,
IIIES)
Stage IV - Disseminated involvement of one or
more extralymphatic organs.

11. The absence of systemic symptoms is
signified by adding 'A' to the stage
The presence of systemic symptoms is

Soft tissue mass associated with involvement of
the jaw or other facial bones
Enlarged cervical lymph nodes
Abdominal masses
Ascitis

19. Histopathology -
Proliferation of B lymphocytes characterized
by sheets of uniform tumor cells
Tumor cells exhibit round nuclei with minimal
cytoplasm
