N2 - Keypoints\r\n• Among malignant lesions of the head and neck region excluding thyroid malignancies, lymphoma ranks second only to squamous cell carcinoma in frequency of occurrence. In the diagnostic work-up of every mass\r\nin the head and neck region, the Otolaryngologist should always consider lymphomas.\r\n• Most cases referred to the otolaryngologist are primarily extranodal, and the most frequent histology is diffuse large B cell lymphoma.\r\n• In extranodal cases, typical symptoms of otolaryngological diseases, such as dysphagia, nasal obstruction and fullness, are much more frequent than systemic manifestations.\r\n• Our results show a preferential localisation of the different lymphoma types within the head and neck,\r\nwhich may help in the diagnostic work-up (i.e. MALTomas are very frequent in the parotid, the\r\naggressive mantle cellphenotype in the base of tongue).
