Abstract: Diffuse large B cell Lymphomas are defined as neoplasms of large transformed B cells, i. e with nuclear diameter more than twice that of a normal lymphocyte. This accounts for 30-40 % of all adult Non Hodgekins Lymphomas. Intraoral lymphomas are relatively rare and often difficult to diagnose clinically. In this case report, we describe a case of Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma affecting the palate of a 35 years old male, along with its clinical, radiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical features.
