A 63-year-old man with abdominal discomfort was referred to our hospital. Colonoscopy revealed a hemispherical-shaped protruding cecal mass of approximately 10 mm in size with a normal mucosal surface. Biopsy specimens showed nodules consisting of the proliferation of atypical lymphoid cells. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma was diagnosed based on the histological and immunohistochemical findings. Since upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated Helicobacter pylori-associated atrophic gastritis, eradication therapy was administered. The cecal mass disappeared completely within three months after triple therapy. Therefore, H. pylori eradication therapy may be a useful treatment option for cecal MALT lymphoma.
一名63岁男性因腹部不适前来我院就诊。结肠镜检查发现盲肠有一个大小约10毫米的半球形突出肿物,黏膜表面正常。活检标本显示由非典型淋巴细胞增殖形成的结节。根据组织学和免疫组化结果诊断为黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤。由于上消化道内镜检查显示有幽门螺杆菌相关性萎缩性胃炎,遂给予根除治疗。三联疗法后三个月内,盲肠肿物完全消失。因此,幽门螺杆菌根除治疗可能是盲肠MALT淋巴瘤的一种有效治疗选择。
