Thirty-four cases of extranodal oral lymphoma were classified according to the Lukes-Collins system on the basis of morphology and immunoperoxidase staining, and these findings were correlated with the clinical features of each case. Vestibule and gingiva, mandible, palatal soft tissue, and maxilla were, respectively, the most common locations for all the tumors, and the most frequently stated signs and symptoms were swelling, pain, paresthesia, anesthesia, ulceration, and discoloration. Eighty percent of the lymphomas were composed of transformed follicular center cells or postfollicular cells. Patients with lymphomas composed of nontransformed follicular center cells had a greater mean age than those with tumors of transformed follicular center cells or postfollicular cells, and a trend of decreasing age with increasing B cell transformation of the tumor type was seen. Within each Lukes-Collins category, the percentage of tumors that presented with bone involvement increased as the tumor category advanced in B cell transformation. Follow-up information indicated that the prognosis was poorest with postfollicular lymphomas, intermediate with transformed follicular center cell lymphomas, and best with nontransformed follicular center cell lymphomas.
