Abstract

A 66-year-old man with recurrent stroke within a short period of time was referred to our department from the neurology department to rule out any malignancy. An endoscopic examination revealed a white depressed lesion in the body of the stomach, and computed tomography revealed a high-density area in the mesentery around the stomach. A mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma was detected from both the stomach biopsy and resected mesenteric specimen. Systemic chemotherapy was administered for the MALT lymphoma (Lugano classification stage IV). Cerebral infarction did not occur after the treatment. We concluded that Trousseau syndrome associated with the MALT lymphoma disseminated to the mesenteric adipose tissue. A MALT lymphoma has a small probability of occurring in Trousseau syndrome.
