We report a very rare case of Castleman's lymphoma arising in the left submandibular region. A 12-year-old girl complained of swelling of the left submandibular region. The swelling was a sharply defined, elastic hard, elliptic mass measuring 30×30 mm. However, there was no tenderness. Tuberculin reaction test, Paul-Bunnel test, and virus antibody reaction test were negative. As this lesion was clinically suspected to be a benign tumor of the submandibular region, enucleation of the tumor was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was Castleman's lymphoma of a hyaline-vascular type. There was no evidence of recurrence in the patient 2 years 6 months after operation.
