63 year-old-man who suffered from lung MALT lymphoma which has gastrointestinal metastasis with unusual macrospopic finding

Abstract

A 63-year-old man who suffered from lung MALT lymphoma was administered in University of Tokyo hospital in October, 2001. MALT lymphoma was confirmed by histological findings. He had also paraspinal lymphnode swelling which made spinal compression detected by CT scan. Furthermore, gastric and colonic involvement of MALT lymphoma was found by endoscope and colonic involvement had an unusual macroscopic finding ; a flat elevated lesion, which was about 1 cm in size, was found and it had enlarged mucosal fine-network-pattern. Gastric involvement had little characteristic finding ; there were some gross folds which revealed lymphoma involvement histologically. A combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy was performed and was succeeded. Not only lung lesion and paraspinal lesion were decreased but also GI lesion was deminished after treatment.
