Abstract
Burkitt’s lymphoma is a malignant monoclonal proliferation of early B-lymphocyte. Since Burkitt’s lymphoma is a highly aggressive disease, early detection is a crucial. This disease often involves jaw and mandibular mass or swelling may also be seen, but in the early phase of Burkitt’s lymphoma these symptoms cannot be observed. A rare case of Burkitt’s lymphoma without any mandibular mass and the general symptoms was present. The excruciating toothache led the patient to visit the dental clinic and misdiagnosis of chronic periodontal abscess was made initially. Dentists should consider the oral manifestations of systemic disease when the multiple periodontal ligament space widening is observed and the dental treatment for mimicking odontogenic pain has no effect.
