“…Primary salivary gland lymphoma can be considered when the parenchyma is involved. Intraglandular lymph nodes involvement without infiltration of the parenchymal gland can be considered a nodal origin [4]. However, a lesion should be considered primary salivary gland lymphoma if it has no capsule and no lymph nodes found [19].…”

“…Its accounts for 2%-5% of salivary gland neoplasms [1,2,3]. The parotid glands are most frequent involved, accounting for 70% of cases, followed by the submandibular glands (25%), sublingual glands, and minor salivary glands (<10%) [1,2,3,4,5].…”
Follicular lymphoma of the submandibular gland is exceptionally uncommon. Lymphomas within the head and neck region do not have particular clinical behavior and manifestation. Furthermore, frozen section and fine-needle aspiration cytology can only provide a provisional diagnosis. Therefore, surgeons might not be aware and send patients for surgical treatment before determining a final diagnosis. We describe a case of follicular lymphoma in a patient formerly identified as a benign submandibular gland tumor.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
