Abstract: Oral Malignant lymphomas are rare. Prognosis of extra-nodal malignant lymphoma is good, but that of oral malignant lymphoma is poor.Three cases of oral malignant lymphoma experienced in our oral surgery are reported. Case I (Maxilla, Stage IE) was treated by surgical excision and chemotherapy. Case II (Mandible, Stage IIE) and case III (Upper Gingiva Stage IE) were treated by radiation therapy. Case I and case II had no recurrence for more than 11 years, and case III for more than 6 years.
