Abstract
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of the oral region are extremely rare. Only 12 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the oral tongue h a ve been reported in the literature (1-6). We describe a 30-year-old woman, who presented with a mass lesion primarily involving the oral tongue and diagnosed as diffuse large T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patient was successfully treated with wide excision of the lesion followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She remained disease free 22-months after the diagnosis and 15-months following completion of treatment. This is the first case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the oral tongue being reported from India.
