Abstract
A peripheral T-cell lymphoma in a 58-year-old man presenting in the right maxillary gingiva with invasion of bone is reported. Treatment was chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone, followed by right maxilla sequestrectomy due to necrosis of soft tissue and bone. Pathological examination of the tumour tissue showed a T-cell lymphoma with characteristic large pleomorphic lymphoid cell infiltration with angio-invasion. The neoplastic lymphoid cells were positive for leukocyte common antigen, CD3, and Epstein-Barr virus stain and negative for L-26, CD2, CD5, and CD56.
