Objective: Presentation of an acute appendicitis and non-Hodgkin lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with extranodal mucosa from the cecum clinical case. Introduction: The cecal appendix can be affected by Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) by extension of the neoplasm; however primary appendicular lymphoproliferative processes are uncommon. The NHL of Mucosal-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) is exceptional. To establish the diagnosis of MALT, a morphological, molecular and immunohistochemical diagnosis is required, including molecular techniques that reflect B cell clones, PCR analysis or the identification of chromosomal abnormalities. Methods: 40 year old male, with 15 days of evolution of abdominal pain located in Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ) and associated symptoms like decreased appetite, nausea, and adynamia, who was firstly diagnosticated as an urinary tract infection treated as outpatient; upon his readmission, he was performed CT scan evidencing mesenteric panniculitis and thickening of the appendicular wall; he was surgically intervened finding edematous and congestive vermiform appendix with lower third perforation, and indurated cecum with 2 cm perforation from the appendicular base, performing right hemicolectomy with ileo-transverse mechanical anastomosis; he was discharged home 7 days after the postoperative period; the histopathological study and immunohistochemistry panel was compatible with MALT-type lymphoma, with lesion-free edges. Extension CT scans with no evidence of distant disease. He was sent to oncology for follow-up. Conclusion: It is important to get an established diagnosis in this rare pathology with molecular techniques and not only with histopathological cuts, since 30% of patients relapse.

“…Within the GI tract, the stomach is the most commonly affected site accounting for 60%-75% of GI cases, followed by the small intestine, rectum, cecum, and colon [6]. MALT lymphoma of the colon is a rare diagnosis accounting for only 2.5% of MALT lymphomas [4].…”

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) commonly affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract but rarely occurs within the colon. Colonic EMZL is a rare diagnosis accounting for 2.5% of EMZL and less than 0.5% of colon cancers. We present a unique case of asymptomatic colonic EMZL diagnosed on a routine surveillance colonoscopy. The lymphoma was confined to a single colonic polyp presenting endoscopically as a sessile polypoid lesion at the recto-sigmoid junction. The patient was successfully treated with polypectomy with no recurrence of the disease.

This case‐study from the Jura Mountains in the foreland of the European Alps demonstrates how the coupling of subsurface analysis and U‐Pb carbonate dating can provide absolute timing constraints and shortening rate estimates of fold‐and‐thrust belts. It is confirmed that the initial Late Cenozoic foreland deformation driving the formation of the easternmost Jura Mountains in Switzerland was predominately thin‐skinned with contractional deformation largely restricted to the Mesozoic succession above a sub‐horizontal basal décollement. Thereby, the localization and structural style of related deformation structures was strongly guided by the characteristics of underlying Late Paleozoic half grabens. The main thin‐skinned thrust front formed at ∼12 Ma, followed by further deformation in the hinterland and locally continued foreland‐directed thrust propagation. The major deformation zones exposed at surface were established at ∼8 Ma but shortening continued until at least ∼4 Ma. Thick‐skinned contraction associated with the inversion of basement structures only played a subordinate role during the latest deformation phase after 8 Ma. Based on cumulative shortening values derived from balanced cross sections, our U‐Pb ages of syn‐tectonic calcite slickenfibres allow to estimate thin‐skinned deformation rates for the easternmost Jura Mountains between ∼0.9 and ∼0.1 mm/year, decreasing toward the eastern tip of the arcuate belt. Moreover, deformation rates seemingly decreased over time with rates of initial thin‐skinned thrusting being significantly higher than the later deformation north of the main thrust front. These new findings from a classical foreland setting highlight the potential of integrating U‐Pb dating in regional fold‐and‐thrust belt investigations elsewhere.
