[Clinical Picture] Non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma involving the palate

A 69-year-old white woman without risk factors for oral cancer presented at the Plastic Surgery Unit of the University Hospital of Palermo (Palermo, Sicily) in January, 2016, with a fetid and bleeding tumour on the left side of the palate (figure). The mass had developed about 6 months previously and had grown rapidly. The initial suspected diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. No specific other symptoms were reported and her blood tests were almost normal, with the exception of a non-specific state of malnutrition due to a reduced food intake, and anaemia due to malnutrition and bleeding from the tumour.
