ABSTRACT
Pediatric follicular lymphoma (PFL) is rare, and it has distinctive characteristics compared to adult-type follicular lymphoma. PFL mainly occurs in males and is likely to be localized to cervical lymph nodes and tonsils. Extranodal type PFL also occurs in the testis, epididymis, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and parotid gland, etc. The prognosis of PFL is better than adulttype follicular lymphoma. Surgical excision is a good option, and the majority of PFL cases show complete remission after surgery. We have encountered a case of PFL of the parotid gland in a 12-year-old boy. Here, we report this case with a review of the literature.
