Abstract

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of colon usually presents with a solitary lesion of polypoid appearance but may rarely present with multiple polypoid lesions. MALT lymphoma of colon presented as multiple polypoid lesions are not easy to differentiate from multiple lymphomatous polyposis. We experienced a case of MALT lymphoma of colon with a large mass in proximal ascending colon involving ileocecal valve and multiple polypoid lesions in entire colon.
