Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: The gastrointestinal tract is the most commonly involved extranodal site in non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). Oral cavity as primary site constitutes only 2% of all extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The oral buccal mucosa involvement by lymphoma is very rare. Here, the authors report a case of primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the oral mucosa. The sonographic features of the mass are described in depth.
