Abstract
- PURPOSE
Lymphoma originated from MALT is common in stomach but infrequently found in bronchus, salivary gland, thyroid gland and orbit. We report a case of multifocal MALToma in bilateral main lacriamal gland, hard palate without systemic metastasis. METHODS: A 45-year-old male without known systemic disease visited with movable mass in left upper eyelid for 5 months. RESULTS: We found the mass which was hot uptaked by whole body SPECT in left main lacrimal gland and hard palate. By excisional biopsy, the mass was diagnosed as MALToma. After 1 year it recurred in contralateral main lacrimal gland. It was diagnosed as the same MALToma by excisional biopsy. Relapse and other metastasis have not been observed yet up to now(November, 2002) , since we treated radiation therapy.
