Background   Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are two common malignancies worldwide and in Lebanon. Analysis of their trends plays a crucial role to better understand their origins and risk factors. This study will probe incidences of both types of lymphomas from 2005 to 2016, aiming to compare between the two malignancies according to age and sex and plot projections until 2026.  Methods  HL and NHL cases from 2005 to 2016 were collected from the National Cancer Registry of Lebanon. Data was stratified according to age and sex. Age-specific and age-standardized incidence rates were analysed using joinpoint regression; 10-year projections were predicted based on logarithmic models.  Results  Between 2005 and 2016, NHL was significantly more common than HL. NHL was higher in both genders. HL showed a bimodal age distribution while NHL peaked in elderly patients. NHL incidence rates in males increased significantly from 2005 to 2014 while HL incidence rates showed an insignificant rise. Over the next 10 years, NHL and HL cases are expected to increase in Lebanon.  Conclusion  HL and NHL are on the rise in Lebanon. Extensive research into the main factors contributing to these lymphomas is crucial in the fight against them. More efforts must be done by the government and health organizations to better control the disease.
