Sažetak

Aim: Lymphomas are a group of blood cell tumors that originate from lymphocytes. The nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rarely affected by primary lymphomas. The purpose of this article is to show a case study of a patient with a primary extranodal lymphoma of rare origin. Case report: A 66 year-old patient presented at the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic with frontal headaches and nasal congestion. Nasal endoscopy revealed a septal mass in the left nasal cavity. Punch biopsy reported a lymphoplasmocytic diffuse B-cell lymphoma with associated markers CD20+, thus the diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma of the nasal septum was concluded. Conclusion: The differential diagnosis of lymphomas from other head and neck tumors is important because of the early staging of the disease and adequate therapy.
