No evidence for a pathogen associated with pulmonary MALT lymphoma: a metagenomics investigation

Gastric MALT Lymphoma Presenting as a Large Solitary Submucosal Mass

Herein, we report on a 24-year-old woman with a large well-marginated gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. She presented with dysphagia and epigastric pain. In esophago­gastro­duodeno­scopy there was a huge bulging submucosal mass with normal appearing mucosa in the cardia in addition to a grade B gastro-esophageal reflux disease. She was treated with a proton pump inhibit...

Pulmonary MALT lymphoma demonstrating a crazy-paving appearance on imaging.

A 65-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to a pulmonary nodule on chest CT. She had been diagnosed with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related vasculitis 10 years previously, which had been stabilized using 10 mg/ day prednisolone therapy. Chest CT revealed a crazy-paving appearance (Picture A). The lung resection specimen revealed a pulmonary low grade mucosa-associated lymph...

Primary Pulmonary MALT Lymphoma with Ground-glass Nodule

Gastric MALT lymphoma: a rarity.

Association of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection with gastric 'Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue' (MALT) lymphomas (MALTomas) is well established. In this study the frequency and characteristics of gastric MALToma over a period of 18 years was evaluated. During this period 24 patients with gastric MALToma were diagnosed; out of them, 13 (54.2%) had active H. Pylori infection. The mean a...

Unusual cystic presentation of pulmonary nodular amyloidosis associated with MALT-type lymphoma.

The case reported herein consists of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis presenting with unusual cystic radiological features which reveal a pulmonary localisation of an extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). The present case is the first to report a radiological presentation of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis in the absence of Sjögren's syndrome....
