Non-Hodgkin's Primary Lymphoma in the Base of Tongue: A Case Report
,
Abstract
Although the most common site in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) is the Waldeyer’s ring, the involvement of the tongue is extremely rare. The present study revealed a 70-year-old female with primary non‑Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of the base of the tongue with the chief complaint of sore throat and dysphasia as a rare case report. The patient was expired 3 months after diagnosis because of the advanced stage of the disease and poor physical statue. The diagnosis was confirmed as primary NHL diffuse large B cell type by histopathological and immunohistochemistry results.
