Abstract

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is a low-grade B-cell lymphoma. MALT lymphomas involving the sublingual gland are extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of MALT lymphoma of the sublingual gland. Additionally, we discuss challenging diagnostic aspects as well as current treatment strategies.

Keywords: extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue; flow cytometry; malignant lymphoma; non‐Hodgkin lymphoma; salivary gland.
