Case description

Endoscopy Shows large and deep ulcers The concept of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas was introduced by Isaacson and Wright [ Cancer 1983; 52:1410–1416[CrossRef][Medline] in 1983. After more than 20 years of clinical research MALT lymphomas are now recognized as a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) with unique pathogenic, histological, and clinical features. Although this subtype of NHL occurs frequently, optimal management remains elusive.
