ABSTRACT
A case involving primary lymphoma of the mandible is presented. The difficulties in diagnosis of this particular pathology are highlighted. The features of primary lymphoma of the mandible are described based on a review of the literature. Malignant lymphoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained dental pain, swelling, ulceration, and radiographic evidence of rarefaction.

A case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the maxillary sinus is reported. A brief review of the origin, histomorphology, classification, clinical presentation, behavior, prognosis, and treatment is given relative to occurrence in the maxillary antrum. Misinterpretation of the microscopic findings can delay the histologic diagnosis. An error in tissue diagnosis may be minimized by awareness of a chance encounter with this lesion.
