Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The most common site for MALT lymphoma is the stomach.
We are reporting a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with obstructive jaundice and was found to have duodenal MALT lymphoma. Unlike gastric MALT lymphoma which is responsive to Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, duodenal MALT lymphoma does not have a definitive treatment.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a duodenal MALT lymphoma presenting clinically as obstructive jaundice. We describe this case to alert physicians to consider this disease in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.
黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤是一种罕见的非霍奇金淋巴瘤。MALT淋巴瘤最常见的部位是胃。
我们报告一例57岁男性,表现为梗阻性黄疸,经检查发现患有十二指肠MALT淋巴瘤。与对幽门螺杆菌根除治疗有反应的胃MALT淋巴瘤不同,十二指肠MALT淋巴瘤尚无确切的治疗方法。
据我们所知,这是首例临床上以梗阻性黄疸为表现的十二指肠MALT淋巴瘤报告。我们描述此病例以提醒医生在梗阻性黄疸的鉴别诊断中考虑这种疾病。
