Abstract: Objective: To analyze the clinical and CT imaging features of primary bone non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PB-NHL) of jaw retrospectively. Methods: The clinical and CT imaging features of 24 patients with PB-NHL of jaw confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of the 24 patients with PB-NHL of the jaw, 17 were male and 7 were female; 16 underwent anti-inflammatory therapy before diagnosis, 6 underwent tooth extraction, and 2 underwent incision and drainage. In the imaging classification of bone changes, osteolytic type accounted for 17/24, mixed type accounted for 5/24, and alveolar bone resorption accounted for 2/24. In the classification of the edge of bone destruction, moth-eaten destruction margin accounted for 8/24, infiltration destruction margin accounted for 13/24, and geographic type accounted for 3/24. There was significant statistical difference between different parts of mandible and mandible in the classification of bone destruction margin (P=0.003). Moth-eaten was the main type of mandibular edge damage, and infiltration was the main type of maxillary edge damage. Osteolytic type was the most common bone change in posterior mandible. Conclusion: PB-NHL of the jaw has certain clinical and imaging characteristics, which is helpful for the clinical and imaging recognition of the disease.
