Abstract

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphomas of the oral cavity are extremely rare. They account for 3-5% of all malignant lesions of the oral cavity. Only a very few cases have been reported in literature of which T cell lymphomas are even lesser in comparison to B cell lymphomas. In this article we describe a case of 24-year-old female who presented with a smooth surfaced lesion on the tip of tongue. PTCL was diagnosed after histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.
