A follicular mixed B-cell lymphoma arising in the submandibular gland is reported. The patient was a 25-year-old woman, and other than the left submandibular lesion there were no symptoms such as lymph node swelling. After resection of the mass, it was diagnosed as malignant lymphoma, follicular B-cell, mixed type on the basis histopathological and immunohistochemical findings.
