title: Lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) arising in the parotid gland.
abstract: Malignant lymphoma of the parotid gland is a rare condition. The authors present the case of a 59-year-old woman with primary malignant lymphoma arising from the parotid gland, in which they resected the tumors and surrounding lymph nodes. Histopathologic examination of the tumor demonstrated a lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were performed after surgery. The clinical manifestation, treatment, and postoperative course are described.
