Introduction: Parotidean and ovarian lymphoma often indicate the existence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, involving 1-5% and 0.2% of the cases, respectively. EXEGENESIS: The authors report the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented B cell lymphoma of the parotid gland revealed by a rapid increase in the parotid size. CT scan showed the existence of a tumor located in the left ovary, later confirmed by biopsy. The proposed diagnosis was diffuse B cell type lymphoma with double glandular localization. Adenopathy and bone marrow involvement were both lacking.
Conclusion: Lymphoma with glandular localizations always require diagnosis confirmation via histological examination and immunophenotyping, and must be considered as the local sign of a general disease.

Pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL) is an extremely rare B-cell lymphoma that primarily affects children and young adults, typically in individuals under 25 years old, with a median age of 15 years. Here, we report a rare case of PTFL in a 27-year-old adult male who presented with a slow-growing mass near his left ear. Initial CT scans of the neck revealed two oval-shaped, smooth, well-defined, homogeneously enhancing soft tissue density lesions in the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland.

: A Warthin tumor is a benign salivary gland neoplasm, mostly found in the parotid gland. The number of reported Warthin tumors has increased over the years due to better diagnostic modalities and health system modernization. Warthin tumor rarely transforms into a malignant tumor; in this work, we present all cases reported in the English literature of different types of lymphomas within Warthin tumors.

Objective: We examined the epidemiology of parotid gland lymphomas (PGL), the incidence, survival rates, clinical features, and association with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).
Methods: This retrospective nationwide cohort study analyzed data from Danish patients diagnosed with PGL between 2000 and 2020. Data were collected from medical records, the National Pathology Register, and the Danish lymphoma database.
