Aims:- To determine the oral findings of newly diagnosed lymphoma patients. Methods: This study involved newly diagnosed 25 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and 25 with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) according to histopathologic and immunophenotyping reports, the patients were examined before treatment started. Result: Pale Mucosa, Gingival Inflammation, Erosive Glossitis, Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) presented with no significant relationship to NHL, HL group, except Angular Cheilitis (AC) presented with a significant relation to NHL at p<0.05. Conclusion: there were no oral manifestations with newly diagnosed Hodgkinʼ lymphoma patients before treatment started, while Angular Cheleitis presented with a significant relation to newly diagnosed patients with Non hodgkinʼs lymphoma, Oral physician and dental practitioners should increase the awareness of underlying disorders to any oral lesion that may be the first sign of underlying disease, due to their crucial role in prognostication and further treatment planning and provide the appropriate patient care.
