| Abstract |
|
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas have been described in nearly every anatomic site but occur
most frequently in the stomach, lung, thyroid, and salivary gland. Bronchus-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (BALT)
lymphoma of the lung coexistent with MALT lymphoma of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is rare. We treated two cases
of BALT lymphoma of the lung coexistent with MALT lymphoma of the GI tract. A fifty-year-old woman who
complained of no symptoms was diagnosed with BALT lymphoma of the lung coexistent with MALT lymphoma of the
stomach. She had no symptoms related to Helicobater pylori infection and has been observed without specific treatment
for 2 years. The other case was a 66-year old man who had epigastric discomfort. He was diagnosed with BALT
lymphoma of the lung coexistent with MALT lymphoma of the duodenum. He was treated with radiotherapy to the
duodenal lesion with improvement of the symptoms. Here we report these two cases of coexisting BALT and MALT
lymphoma and review the medical literature.(Korean J Med 73:S1033-S1038, 2007) |
