Abstract

Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is the most common type of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Most cases are defined histologically as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, while low-grade MALT lymphoma affecting the stomach and duodenum simultaneously is rare. In this case report, we describe the case of a 55-year-old female who presented to the gastroenterology clinic at our hospital for management of gastric adenoma and duodenal polyp by endoscopic mucosal resection and polypectomy. The pathology report noted MALT lymphoma with submucosal tubulovillous adenoma and hyperplastic polyps in the stomach and duodenum. She underwent eradication of Helicobacter pylori using proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy.
