Objectives: To study the trends of lymphoma incidence among patients registered in Dubai hospital for the period 2008-2016 and to study some socio demographic characteristics of the admitted cases.

The time trends showed stable curve across years during the period 2008 to 2016, to be the fifth most common cancer in 2016. Strengthening cancer registry system should be given a priority.
