While B-cell lymphomas are frequently found in AIDS patients, reports on oral manifestations are rare. Among a group of 465 HIV-infected patients 5 presented with primary oral manifestations of a malignant B-cell lymphoma. The primary site of manifestation was the maxilla in 3 cases and the mandible in 2 cases. Based on the histological and immunohistochemical examination the tumors were differentiated as Burkitt's lymphoma (n = 1), as anaplastic large cell (ALC) lymphoma of the B-cell type (n = 1), as high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma not classifiable according to the Kiel classification (n = 1), as immunoblastic-plasmoblastic lymphoma (n = 1), and as centroblastic lymphoma (n = 1). Serum samples were negative for HTLV-I antibodies in 5/5 cases.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited error in metabolism resulting from loss-of-function variants in the gene, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). TNAP plays a crucial role in biomineralization of bones and teeth, in part by reducing levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PP), an inhibitor of biomineralization. HPP onset in childhood contributes to rickets, including growth plate defects and impaired growth.
