Lymphomas of the salivary glands are a rare entity with a rare incidence. They are more commonly found on the parotid gland, followed by the submandibular and sublingual glands. The majority of parotid lymphomas are non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and are considered to be derived from mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Reports of these cases are scarce and often misdiagnosed since: their manifestation is relatively benign, they have a localized behavior, a slow growth and the evolution takes several years.

Palabras llave : Type MALT lymphoma; parotid gland tumor.
