Abstract

Follicular lymphoma of the submandibular gland is exceptionally uncommon. Lymphomas within the head and neck region do not have particular clinical behavior and manifestation. Furthermore, frozen section and fine-needle aspiration cytology can only provide a provisional diagnosis. Therefore, surgeons might not be aware and send patients for surgical treatment before determining a final diagnosis. We describe a case of follicular lymphoma in a patient formerly identified as a benign submandibular gland tumor.
