Non Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare primary malignancy in the head and neck region. Head and neck is the second most common site for the extra-nodal lymphoma, next to gastrointestinal tract. Nasopharynx, tonsil, nose, para-nasal sinuses, orbit and salivary glands are the other sites affected in head and neck region. Involvement of the oral cavity is uncommon.
