title: Two cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the accessory parotid gland.
abstract: Primary malignant lymphomas in the salivary glands are relatively rare and tumors of the accessory parotid gland comprise only 1% of parotid tumors. We present two cases with a painless swelling of the cheek region. In both cases histological diagnoses of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were made following complete excision of the accessory parotid gland tumor.
