[Non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma with parotid gland and ovarian localization].
BACKGROUND
Parotidean and ovarian lymphoma often indicate the existence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, involving 1-5% and 0.2% of the cases, respectively. EXEGENESIS: The authors report the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented B cell lymphoma of the parotid gland revealed by a rapid increase in the parotid size. CT scan showed the existence of a tumor located in the left ovary, later confirmed by biopsy. The proposed diagnosis was diffuse B cell type lymphoma with double glandular localization. Adenopathy and bone marrow involvement were both lacking.


CONCLUSIONS
Lymphoma with glandular localizations always require diagnosis confirmation via histological examination and immunophenotyping, and must be considered as the local sign of a general disease.
