114 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) have been studied in HCU of Salamanca during a ten years period (1977-1987). Fifty seven of them had a head and neck location. According to this we divided this group of patients in primary or secondary sitting in relation to the head and neck affectation. We also distinguish which are the most frequently involved areas; lymph nodes and extranodal presentations, divided into Waldeyer's and no-Waldeyer's one.
