Résumé

Oral MALT Lymphoma is rare condition and its pathogenesis are related to persistent immune stimulation caused by chronic infection or inflammation. We report a case of MALT lymphoma of the palatal minor salivary glands in a 73-year-old white woman with clinical history of osteoporosis and systemic lupus erythematosus associated with Sjögren's syndrome. This letter aims to call the attention on large number of factors to take into account in evaluating patients with an history of auto-immune diseases. This idea results from our difficulty in identifying this pathology in first diagnosis, due to rarity of this condition and severe comorbidity associated.
