Abstract
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma often presents outside the lymphoid system. Among the salivary glands, parotid is exclusively
involved and it is extremely rare in submandibular gland. We report a case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in submandibular
gland, which was initially managed as a case of chronic submandibular sialadenitis, but later on confirmed as non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma after surgical excision and histopathological examination.
