Cytological examination of fine-needle biopsy material from neck tumors is used for primary diagnosis of the type of formation and determination of further tactics for patient management. This clinical case presents a rare combination of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary gland and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in one patient. Cytological examination allowed us to establish a preliminary diagnosis of a primary multiple tumor.
