Abstract
- Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma is derived from the marginal zone B-cell compartment and can be found at wide variety of extranodal sites, most frequently at the gastrointestinal sites. Recent clinicopathologic studies suggest a relationship between MALT lymphoma and chronic inflammatory disorders, such as Helicobacter pylori infection in stomach or autoimmune disorders, such as Sj gren's syndrome in salivary glands. Primary gastrointestinal MALT lymphoma most commonly arises in the stomach and less often in the small and large intestine. Recently we experienced a case who had MALT lymphoma and tuberculous enteritis at the same site (jejunum) confirmed by exploratory laparotomy.
