Ameloblastomas are the second most common odontogenic neoplasms, they are benign, however, they present an aggressive and locally infiltrative behavior, with a high recurrence rate; so its treatment is very controversial. We present the case of a 14-year-old male patient, with no relevant medical history, with increased volume in the posterior mandibular region left side, hard, with a color like the adjacent skin and painless on palpation. A puncture and an incisional biopsy were performed, obtaining as a histopathological result: mural unicystic ameloblastoma, which was treated conservatively with curettage and peripheral ostectomy, evolving favorably and rehabilitated with osseointegrated implants. Treatment modalities can be divided into radical and conservative. The technique to choose depends mainly on the type of ameloblastoma, followed by histology, its location, size and age of t...

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas make up a group of malignant neoplasms of lymphoid origin, according to their corresponding cell line, as B or T cell lymphomas classified. Mostly, these entities come from B lymphocytes, being the most frequent diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In the oral cavity, non-Hodgkin lymphomas have low incidence and their prognosis, clinical evolution and response to treatments, depend on the subtype presented. These malignancies can develop in soft tissues of the oral cavity or centrally in the jaws. We report an 80-year-old patient with an injury corresponding to large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the oral cavity, who has been treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, responding favorably to treatment. Likewise, in order to describe this infrequent type of lesions of the oral cavity and to assess the prognosis they have, a literature review was performed. It is ...
