A case of sublingual gland lymphosarcoma is reported here with clinical-pathological "staging" established according to Ann arbor classification extended to non Hodgkin's lymphomas (stage I). Histological data suggest a case of "Diffuse Histiocytic "lymphoma" (D. H. L.) in Rappaport's Classification. Treatment regimen was chosen in conformity with current concepts; that is simple excision of the sublingual gland, followed; that is simple excision of the sublingual gland, followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy (C.V.P.). After one year, the patient is still free of relapse. However, at the present time no definite prognosis can be ventured.
