High-grade Hepatic Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma Probably Transformed from the Low-grade Gastric MALT Lymphoma
The Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which was first described in 1983, is known to be caused by chronic Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, which triggers lymphoid infiltration and formation of organized lymphoid tissue. In approximately two thirds of cases of MALT, the lymphoma has been observed to regress after treatment of H. pylori infection; this provides strong evidence...
متن کاملAsynchronous Low-Grade Malignant B-cell MALT Lymphoma of Parotid Glands; A Case Report
It has been reported that lymphoepithelial lesions (LEL), including Sjogren syndrome and benign lymphoepithelial lesions (BLEL), often change to low-grade malignant B-cell mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. In the patient described here BLEL changed to malignant lymphoma in both parotid glands over a 2-year interval. Surgical removal was performed because this malignant lymphom...
متن کاملA case of primary low grade mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the oesophagus.
We report a very rare case of primary low grade mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the oesophagus. An 83 year old woman was referred to our hospital in June 1999 for further examination and treatment of oesophageal tumour.

متن کاملTreatment of low-grade gastric MALT lymphoma using Helicobacter pylori eradication.
BACKGROUND/AIM Lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) of the stomach usually occurs as a consequence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of treatment of low-grade gastric MALT lymphoma with the H. pylori eradication method. METHODS In the period 2002-2012 in 20 patients with dyspepsia, mean age 55.1...
متن کاملLow-Grade Extranodal Marginal Zone B Cell Lymphoma of Malt in the Kidney
Primary renal lymphomas are very rare since renal involvement by the disease is most often a manifestation of disseminated disease. We report an 88-year-old man with low-grade extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) (MALT lymphoma) arising in the kidney. After the workup, the patient was thought to have renal cell carcinoma and underwent partial neph...
