MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphomas are low-grade extra-nodal B-cell lymphomas that may involve various sites in the head and neck including the thyroid, salivary, and lacrimal glands. Development of MALT lymphoma in the head and neck is often associated with auto-immune diseases such as Sjögren syndrome or Hashimoto thyroiditis. Here, we report a case of a MALT lymphoma of the left buucal mucosa that likely arose in the parotid gland. The patient was successfully treated with surgical excision with chemotherapy and remained disease-free at the 10-year follow-up. Since it was rare in the head and neck region, we present this case.
黏膜相关淋巴组织（MALT）淋巴瘤是一种低级别的结外 B 细胞淋巴瘤，可能涉及头颈部的各种部位，包括甲状腺、唾液腺和泪腺。头颈部的 MALT 淋巴瘤的发展通常与自身免疫性疾病有关，如干燥综合征或桥本甲状腺炎。在这里，我们报告了一例左侧颊黏膜 MALT 淋巴瘤，该肿瘤可能起源于腮腺。患者经手术切除联合化疗治疗后成功，10 年随访时无疾病复发。由于这种肿瘤在头颈部较为罕见，我们报告了这例病例。
