Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma involving meningeal tissue is rare condition, easily mistaken for meningiomas upon imaging. In this report, a case of primary left temporal lobe MALT lymphoma that was initially misdiagnosed as temporal meningioma is presented, with subsequent investigation into the mechanism and treatments. Clinically, MALT lymphomas can be easily confused with meningiomas based solely on imaging and clinical manifestations. MALT lymphomas are indolent, localized lesions that can be cured through surgical resection and radiotherapy. Currently, radiotherapy is the most commonly used treatment; however, the patient in the present report did not receive any chemotherapy or radiotherapy after surgery, and recent related examinations revealed a recurrence of lymphomas that had metastasized throughout the body. As a result, future patients may benefit from chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and clinicians should be more meticulous regarding patient follow-up.
累及脑膜组织的黏膜相关淋巴组织（MALT）淋巴瘤是一种罕见疾病，在影像学上很容易被误诊为脑膜瘤。在本报告中，介绍了一例最初被误诊为颞叶脑膜瘤的原发性左颞叶MALT淋巴瘤病例，并对其发病机制和治疗方法进行了后续研究。临床上，仅根据影像学和临床表现，MALT淋巴瘤很容易与脑膜瘤混淆。MALT淋巴瘤是惰性的局限性病变，可通过手术切除和放疗治愈。目前，放疗是最常用的治疗方法；然而，本报告中的患者术后未接受任何化疗或放疗，近期相关检查显示淋巴瘤已全身转移复发。因此，未来的患者可能会从化疗或放疗中获益，临床医生在患者随访方面应更加细致。
