Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) involving base of the tongue is a rare presentation with an incidence of only 7% of total cases. Because of its rarity it is often diagnosed late as lymphoma and mismanaged widely. We present one such case of 70-year-old female with complaints of difficulty in swallowing being diagnosed as NHL lesion of diffuse large B-cell variety arising in base of the tongue.
