A case of a 49-year-old male who had a mass with tenderness in his right infraauricular region is reported. CT scan revealed that the mass occupied the parapharyngeal space. The tuberculin reaction was strongly positive. Histological findings suggested the possibility of tuberculous lesion but there were atypical lymphoid cells in the soft tissue infiltrated by the mass. Malignant lymphoma was diagnosed by immunohistological findings.
