ABSTRACT
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a type of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma that occurs outside the lymph nodes in mucosal tissue. It accounts for 6-8 % of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. MALT lymphoma of the salivary gland is a rare disease, with primary tumors in the salivary gland accounting for 2-5 % of salivary gland tumors. The most common site is the parotid gland (80 %), followed by the submandibular gland (14 %), minor salivary glands, and sublingual gland (5 %). Patients with salivary gland MALT lymphoma often have autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. Primary malignant tumors of the sublingual gland account for less than 1 % of cases, and preoperative diagnosis is difficult, often requiring biopsy for confirmation. To our knowledge, there are no reports of MALT lymphoma arising from the sublingual gland. We report a case of MALT lymphoma originating from the sublingual gland in a patient with a history of hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarction, and non-traumatic numbness of the right lower limb.
