Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma of the Lung With Cold-reacting Autoantibody-mediated Hemolytic Anemia – Discussion
The concept of MALToma was first described bv Isaacson and Wright2 in a patient suffering from immunoproliferative intestinal disease and low-grade primary В cell lymphoma of the stomach in 1983. The distinct clinicopathologic entity was later extended to include low-grade В cell lymphoma arising from other mucosal organs including the bronchus, salivary gland, thyroid gland, […]
Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma of the Lung With Cold-reacting Autoantibody-mediated Hemolytic Anemia – Case Report
The primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) of the lung is a rare low-grade В cell lymphoma arising from bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue which had been regarded as pseudolymphoma. It has characteristic histologic findings with monoclonal В cells of centrocytelike lymphoid cells and a lymphoepithelial lesion. This is a case report of MALToma of the lung […]
