OBJECTIVE
The Authors report their experience in diagnosis and treatment of one case of primary low-grade gastric lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT); recent international literature review.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
Complete clinical report. Diagnostic, clinical and prognostic indication, evaluation of effectiveness of eradication therapy and short follow-up.
SETTING
Operative Unit of General and Thoracic Surgery. University "Paolo Giaccone" of Palermo.
INTERVENTION
Treatment of H. Pylori infection (lansoprazole, amoxicillin and metronidazole twice a day for 14 days; after that, lansoprazole for another 4 weeks), according to international guide-lines.
RESULTS
H. Pylori was completed eradicated. Disappearance and total regression of the lymphomatous tissue was observed. No relapse were recorded at short follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS
Our reports confirm the recent anecdotal reports on regression of gastric MALT lymphoma after eradication of H. Pylori and indicates that the growth of these extranodal lymphomas may depend on H. Pylori.
