A Rare Case of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma in the Ileum

The body contains mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), with the greatest amount located in the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract. Lymphoma may form when the cell growth in this tissue is aberrant. The small intestine is a common extranodular site of lymphoma, a systemic illness. Additionally, it has...

Sumario:The body contains mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), with the greatest amount located in the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract. Lymphoma may form when the cell growth in this tissue is aberrant. The small intestine is a common extranodular site of lymphoma, a systemic illness. Additionally, it has been proposed that MALT lymphomas (MALTomas) arise as a result of chronic and persistent immunological activation, either of an autoimmune or infectious type. The MALToma that develops in the duodenum is typically thought to be unrelated to Helicobacter pylori infection. However, some examples show that lymphoma regressed when H. pylori were removed.
