RESUMEN

Infantile cutaneous hemangioma is a benign vascular tumour present at 10% of the infants. It forms part of the group of the vascular tumours in the classification of international society for vascular anomalies (ISSVA). Usual surgical attitude is abstention and surgery is proposed only in order to treat sequelae. But some particular situations require early surgery to avoid functional impairment, deformation or growth delay due to the lesion's development. Using our observations, we recall the epidemiology, the physiopathology, the clinical aspects, the particularities of the facial localizations and their treatments. In these localizations the time intervenes like a fourth dimension that is going to modify, to improve or to aggravate the prognosis. Treatment requires a strategy and precocious surgery. We insist on the fact that the dogma of the therapeutic abstention remained true for a majority of children with small size hemangioma and that a precocious surgery must be proposed for some localizations in the face.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The mandible is an infrequent localisation of primary osseous non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Few cases of mandibular non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) have been reported. CASE REPORT: A rare condition of primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the mandible in 53-year-old man, was reported at the Department of Maxillofacial and Plastic Surgery in Charles Nicolle Hospital (Tunis, Tunisia). Histologic and Immunohistochemical (IHC) examination Confirmed a B-Cell lymphoma. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this report is to describe this rare case of NHL of the mandible, explore the diagnosis and workup, and discuss treatment strategies. In this localisation, neither the clinical features nor the radiologic appearances are often pathognomonic. CONCLUSION: Particular care must be taken to consider lymphoma in the differential diagnosis because this uncommon lesion can pose significant diagnostic problems and is frequently misdiagnosed.
