ABSTRACT
Lymphoma is the second most common neoplasm of the head and neck after squamous cell carcinoma. Nearly 24% to 48% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma can arise in extranodal localizations and 3% to 5% of which were primarily located in the oral cavity. Waldeyer ring is the most frequently involved site. The authors report 2 cases of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the oral cavity, not of the Waldeyer ring.

Malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is a rare neoplasm. It is well known for his poor prognosis and the need for an evidence-based treatment. Therapy is commonly based on surgical excision of the primary tumour, supplemented by adjuvant therapy. In this paper two new cases of primary oral melanoma are reported with a review of the literature.
