title: [Malignant lymphoma of the neck, nose and pharyngeal region].
abstract: Malignant lymphomas (Hodgkin's and Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma) are often diagnosed in lymphoid structures of the head and neck region as part of either a localized or an already disseminated disease. Its careful work-up with histology and accurate staging is the base of a successful therapeutic strategy. With appropriate chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, the primary aim is often cure of disease. Other diseases important for differential diagnosis are discussed.
