Lymphomas are the third-most common cancer of the oral cavity after squamous cell carcinomas and salivary gland tumors. It is characterized by proliferation of lymphoid cells and their precursor. Diffuse B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common histological type of lymphoma in the head-and-neck region and most commonly affects older men in their seventh decade of life.
