“…Song et al 7 also reported GI bleeding in 19 (15.6%) patients but did not comment on the hemodynamic instability, which appears to be sparsely reported. Obleagă et al 8 and Bestari et al 9 reported a case each of upper GI hemorrhage with hypovolemic shock as the first sign of MALT lymphoma which was similar to our case.…”

Primary gastric lymphoma is rare, representing 5% of all primary gastric neoplasms. The presenting complaints of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma are usually nonspecific. However, life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from the stomach is unusual and sparsely reported. While studies reveal an indolent course, we present a case that presented with massive and recurrent hematemesis leading to hypovolemic shock secondary to endoscopically confirmed MALT lymphoma, which was treated with radiotherapy to achieve remission. She had no autoimmune diseases and tested negative for Helicobacter pylori. Our case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and timely intensive radiotherapy of a localized but aggressive gastric MALT lymphoma.

Extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is uncommon and difficult to diagnose due to varied clinical presentations and endoscopic appearances masquerading as other pathology. Rarely, it has been associated with acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We report on a 60year-old male who presented with an acute upper GI bleed and endoscopic findings suggestive of isolated gastric varices (GV), ultimately determined to be MALT lymphoma. Complete remission was achieved with radiation therapy, with no recurrence at a 12-month follow-up. This case highlights a unique clinical and endoscopic presentation of MALT lymphoma which providers should be aware of. We emphasize the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

“…Eliminating infection diminishes the risk of developing atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer. Although the low incidence of gastric cancer in Indonesia is due to low H. pylori infection, early diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic patients is necessary to decrease the risk of chronic complications [ 51 , 73 , 75 ].…”

Management of dyspepsia and Helicobacter pylori infection: the 2022 Indonesian Consensus Report

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dyspepsia still becomes a major challenge in upper gastrointestinal disease in Indonesia. This disease often correlated with Helicobacter pylori infection. However, the prevalence of this bacterium is generally low in Indonesia. Therefore, several considerations should be taken into consideration during the management of dyspepsia and H. pylori infection. “Management of dyspepsia and H. pylori infection in Indonesia: The Indonesian consensus report” comprises information gathered from 22 gastroenterology centers across Indonesia. The experts gathered to evolve a consensus, that consists of the statements, grades of recommendations, evidence levels, and rationales for the dyspepsia and H. pylori infection management for daily clinical practice. The report explains several aspects from the updated epidemiology information to comprehensive management therapy. After the experts worked together on all statements in the recommendations, the results are presented with the final agreement as a consensus to help clinicians in understanding, diagnosing, and treating dyspepsia and H. pylori infection patients in daily clinical practice in Indonesia.
