Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma(NHL) is a malignant tumor that is derived from the lymphatic system. The most common symptoms of NHL are painless lymph node enlargement. However, we should not diagnose NHL by only fragmentary clinical symptom and radiologic finding because of the various lymphoma characters. We have treated a patient with such preoperative findings of Branchial cleft cyst. However, the pathologic diagnosis of the surgical specimen was diffuse large b-cell lymphoma.
