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 کاملDelving deeper into MALT lymphoma biology.
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas can arise in a variety of extranodal sites. Interestingly, at least 3 different, apparently site-specific, chromosomal translocations, all affecting the NF-kappaB pathway, have been implicated in the development and progression of MALT lymphoma. The most common is the translocation t(11;18)(q21;q21), which results in a fusion of the cIAP2 regio...
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. Although a physical examination and laboratory data showed no significant abnormalities, endoscopic observation revealed two slightly elevated submucosal tu...
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...
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...
