Abstract:
In this case report we describes a 35-year-old female patient with no significant medical history, who underwent deoxycholic acid injections for submental fat reduction two months prior. The injections were administered by a non-medical practitioner. Subsequently, the patient developed a sublingual swelling that progressively increased in size. She was admitted and initially managed as a case of cervical cellulitis. However, the patient's condition deteriorated, and she was admitted to our department with inspiratory dyspnea. In extreme urgency, a tracheostomy was performed, Subsequent biopsies were conducted. The histopathological examination revealed features consistent with a lymphoma.
