Primary Follicular Lymphoma of the oral cavity is one of the rarest variants of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma b-cell subtype. Now a days, increased incidence of extranodal occurrence in oral cavity and its conjoining behavior with epithelial malignancies possess the need for precise and timely diagnosis of the entity to prevent abrupt over-treatment. In this string, we report a case of primary follicular lymphoma of oral cavity which initially masqueraded oral squamous cell carcinoma but later its diagnosis as follicular lymphoma led to early treatment of the patient which led to good prognosis.
