Primary lymphomas of the salivary glands are uncommon. Primary malignant lymphomas of the salivary gland are predominantly B-cell type lymphomas. Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are B-cell extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. MALT lymphomas are the most common lymphomas involving the salivary glands. MALT- lymphomas arises in extranodal sites such as the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid and salivary glands. The surgical resection have a important role in the diagnosis and treatment of the MALT lymphomas. We present a 65 year old man with painless enlargement on the neck admitted to our clinic. As a result of the examination and tests the patient was operated with the first diagnosis of submandibular benign mass. MALT lenfoma of submandibular gland origin was diagnosed resulting in histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen.
