Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas may affect extranodal areas but oral cavity is a rare localization. In this article, we reported a 53-year-old male patient who applied with complaint of dysphagia and pain on tongue. A biopsy result showed that the mass on the tongue was an anaplastic lymphoma. Lymphomas should be kept in mind for the differential diagnosis of the masses of the tongue. Diagnosis should be established and treatment should be started rapidly due to aggressive behavior and poor prognosis of the disease.
