Popis: Primary extranodal malignant lymphoma is relatively rare. Clinical and radiological features may lead to the misdiagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis. We report a case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that involved the mandibular region in a 53-year-old man. Differential diagnosis with other mandibular diseases is difficult because there is a non specific clinico-radiological features and the difficulty of histologic interpretation. This pathology is important to recognize because of specific treatment. Global prognosis is relatively favorable if the lesion is localized.
