Case description

MALT lymphoma is an indolent (commonly called low grade) type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, first recognised as a specific type of lymphoma in 1983. It occurs at sites that are outside lymph nodes or the spleen. The organisation of the lymphoma cells, when viewed under the microscope, resembles the lymphoid tissue normally found in the gut, which is called ‘mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) MALT lymphoma most frequently arises within this type of lymphoid tissue after it has accumulated as part of a reaction to an infection or inflammation.
