Abstract

The non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a significant malignant disease that can involve in the extranodal region of the head and neck. It does not show any specific symptoms when it resides in this region. Swelling, pain and ulceration are important clinical findings. In this article, we report a 57-year-old male patient diagnosed with B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by histopathologic examination, who had nasal blockage, snoring and headache complaints for one year, whose endoscopic nasal examination revealed a mass arising from the right inferior turbinate and the mass was removed surgically by endoscopic approach.
