Abstract

|
The Mantle cell lymphoma(MCL) is a relatively rare subtype of malignant lymphoma characterized by chromosomal translocation t(11 ; 14)(q13 ; q32), positive response for CD5, and nuclear cyclin D1. It is account for an estimated 3-6% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The involvement of extra-nodal site is not uncommon, whereas salivary glands are rarely affected. It is more commonly occurred in men and old age and approximately 75% of cases are diagnosed with advanced stage. It is usually characterized by an aggressive clinical course, and the prognosis is poorer than other type of head and neck lymphoma. We recently encountered a 69-year-old female with mass in parotid tail and upper neck, and it was diagnosed as mantle cell lymphoma. We report the unique case with a review of literature.
