The development of methotrexate (MTX)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) in the oral cavity is rare, despite numerous recent reports on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with MTX. An 84-year-old woman with RA, who was receiving MTX therapy since November 2008, presented to our hospital in April 2010. She complained of pain, and a nodule, with deep ulceration and induration, was seen extending from the right lower gingiva to the buccal mucosa. Histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen showed a diffuse proliferation of mostly large atypical lymphocytes. The tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD79a, MUM1, and LMP1, accompanied by EBER-ISH positive reaction. The condition was diagnosed as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which indicated MTX-LPD. MTX was discontinued. The tumor disappeared after 2 months. Within 8 months, the bone sequestrum spontaneously separated, and the affected area was covered with normal mucosa. Examination after 2 years 4 months did not show any evidence of recurrence.
