Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare disease and usually presents as pulmonary masses, mass-like consolidation, or pulmonary nodules on chest images. We report a case of a 43-year-old man with symptoms of chronic cough for 1 year, showing bilateral diffuse bronchovascular bundle thickening and focal ground glass opacities on a chest computed tomography scan. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed and the final pathologic diagnosis was pulmonary MALT lymphoma. Concurrent involvement of the pancreas was discovered during staging workup. After diagnosis, he was treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy and rituximab and showed improvements in his lung lesion and pancreas.

PURPOSE: Extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of MALT type represents approximately 8% of non- Hodgkin's lymphomas and this lymphoma is present in extranodal sites. Although the presentation of this lymphomain in stomach is usually associated with H. pylori infection in 95% of cases, MALT lymphoma found in soft tissue has been reported very rarely in the field of plastic surgery. We report a case of MALT lymphoma in the submandibular gland without any involvement of other organs such as the stomach. METHODS: A 49-year-old man complained of a huge neck mass sized about 10x12cm. It started about 2 years ago and grew rapidly for the late 6 months. It was of hard nature with erythematous skin overlying it. Under the diagnosis of possible malignant lymphoma or sarcoma, radical resection was performed and the defect was reconstructed using transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous free flap. RESULTS: The mass was well demarcated from the normal tissue, 11 x 10.5 x 10cm in size and whitish- gray color. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the tumor cells were LCA(+), CD20(+) , CD3(-) and CD5(-). The tumor was diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma. The patient was treated with prophylactic radiation therapy after surgery, there was no complication for 1 year. CONCLUSION: We reported that very rare form of MALT lymphoma in 49-year-old male patient was experienced with clinical characteristics, histologic features and references.

Primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma arising in the common bile duct (CBD) is extremely rare. In our case of MALT lymphoma, CT and MRI showed long, segmental, irregular wall thickening of the CBD and minimal dilatation of the upstream bile duct. A preoperative diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma was made, but histologic evaluation confirmed MALT lymphoma of the CBD. We herein present a rare case of MALT lymphoma of the CBD with CT and MRI findings.

We report a case of primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in the esophagus that manifested as a large submucosal tumor (SMT). Primary esophageal lymphoma is very rare, occurring in less than 1% of all patients with gastrointestinal lymphoma. Only a few cases of MALT lymphoma in the esophagus have been reported in the English literature. A 53-year-old man was referred to Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital (Goyang, Korea) in July 2012 for further evaluation and treatment of an esophageal SMT. Endoscopy showed a cylindrically elongated submucosal mass with normal overlying mucosa in the mid esophagus, 25-30 cm from the incisor teeth. He underwent surgery to confirm the diagnosis. Pathologic findings showed diffuse small atypical lymphoid cells which were stained with Bcl-2, CD20, but not with CD3, CD5, CD23, Bcl-6, or cyclin D1. These cells showed a positive monoclonal band for immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement. Based on the pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular biological features, the esophageal mass was diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the MALT type.
