Abstract

Forty percent of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are located in extranodal sites. The palatal location of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is usually observed at a late stage of the disease. We report the case of a 62-year-old male patient managed for 8 years for CLL, having presented with a soft palatal tumor in the last 2 years. The diagnosis of CLL was made by immunohistochemistry. The patient was given 6 courses of chemotherapy combining fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab. The diagnosis of CLL requires immunohistochemistry. Chemotherapy is the first line treatment. The complication may be an aggressive lymphoma (Richter).
