ABSTRACT
Lymphoma of cheek is a rare ad uncommon disease, representing 2,5% of malignant lymphoma. The cause is unknown but there are a lot of risk factors such as Helicobacter pylori and Epstein Barr virus. Symptoms are aspecific and may be confused with otolaryngological benign diseases. We present a case of B cell lymphoma of the cheek, which presented with a history of a slowly growing swelling of 3 months duration, resistant to NSAIDs and antibiotic therapy. Biopsy of the mass led to diagnosis of lymphoma. Blood investigations, ultrasonography and CT scan helped to reach this result. This case report shows that an accurate clinical examination, a cytohistological and immune-histochemical diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) are fundamental to obtain a diagnosis and to decide therapy.
