Abstract

Palate perforation is a rare condition and can be due to congenital or acquired causes. Acquired palatal perforations can be caused by a number of etiologies including developmental disorders, infections, malignancy, and drugs of abuse. We present a case of palatal perforation due to NK/T-cell lymphoma, which presented in a manner mimicking an aggressive infectious process. The infectious and noninfectious causes of palatal perforation and their differentiation are emphasized in this case study.
