Simultaneous MALT-type lymphoma and early adenocarcinoma of the stomach: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The majority of malignant tumors of the stomach are carcinomas. It has been reported in the literature that lymphomas consist of 1%-5% of all malignant tumors of the stomach (1). The simultaneous coexistence of adenocarcinoma and malignant lymphoma of the stomach is extremely rare (1-5). Gastric carcinoma and primary gastric lymphoma have shown to be related to Helicobacter pylori infection (3). We present a rare case with in situ gastric carcinoma and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type gastric lymphoma in a patient with Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis.
