ABSTRACT
Non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma is rarely located in the soft tissue of the chin making diagnosis difficult. Clinical signs are non-specific: progressive weight loss, asthenia, fever, an inflammatory tumefaction unresponsive to medical treatment. Imaging shows a homogeneous tumefaction of the soft tissues. Pathology and immunohistochemistry establish the diagnosis.

This process is illustrated regarding two cases.
