Non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) of the mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) are characterized by a preferential mucosal manifestation. Each organ system may be involved. Exclusively local growth is usually treated with surgical tumour reduction, combined with radiotherapy. In cases of tumour dissemination, chemotherapy is warranted. Follow‐up should be performed closely. This case report highlights an unexpected recurrence of NHL in the oral MALT, four years after primary manifestation in the rectum.
