Reports of T-cell lymphomas in the oral cavity are rare. Most have presented as a persisting ulcerated swelling. This paper reports two men, one of whom presented with a short history of increasing facial swelling and pain apparently related to a lower premolar tooth, and the other who had recurrent oral ulceration in several sites over a period of years. These types of cases are likely to present initially to general dental practitioners.

A rare case of trigeminal neuralgia caused by an ipsilateral acoustic neuroma is presented, with a review of the literature. The patient, a 58 year old female, had experienced deafness and tinnitus on the affected side for twenty-seven years, and had been investigated on two occasions several years earlier, prior to diagnosis of the neuroma. Trigeminal neuralgia was diagnosed fourteen years after onset of deafness, and was increasingly difficult to control. All three divisions of the trigeminal nerve were involved with sensorineural deficit over the affected side. The tumour was removed surgically but the patient was left with several neurological deficits.(AU)
