Lymphoma is the second most common primary malignancy occurring in the head and neck with Diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL) being the most frequent type. Primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the scalp is extremely rare. We are describing a case of the same in a 42 year old lady who presented with a diffuse swelling in the right forehead since 3 months of duration. Imaging showed soft tissue lesion arising from the scalp with diffuse hyperostosis of right parietal bone. Further investigations with CT scan chest, abdomen, and pelvis did not reveal any other evidence of systemic disease. Biopsy of the scalp mass was diagnostic of DLBCL scalp. She was treated with chemotherapy followed by radiation.
