A Rare Case of Pulmonary Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma Transforming into Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) is a low grade B-cell lymphoma that develops from the lungs, intestinal tract, salivary gland, and other organs and is included under extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. When a primary pulmonary MALToma develops from bronchus-associated lymphoid ti...

description Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) is a low grade B-cell lymphoma that develops from the lungs, intestinal tract, salivary gland, and other organs and is included under extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. When a primary pulmonary MALToma develops from bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT), it is called BALT lymphoma (BALToma). The etiology of MALToma is not clear; however, an association between chronic inflammatory conditions and BALToma has been observed. Transformation of MALToma to high grade lymphoma is very rare. We experienced a case of MALToma that had developed from the lungs in a patient who was undergoing treatment for latent tuberculosis and rapidly transformed into high grade B-cell lymphoma.
