Large infiltration of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the mandibular region

Abstract

Orofacial complications of leukemia include lymphadenopathy, gingival bleeding, petechiae, ulceration, gingival enlargement and infections. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent type of adult lymphoproliferative disorder, but oral manifestations are uncommon. We describe a rare case of extensive mandibular infiltration in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
