We report a case of Stage IE mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma arising in the rectum, which was successfully treated with radiotherapy. A 60-year-old man had several months of altered bowel habit with rectal bleeding and was found to have a large rectal tumor with no evidence of distant spread. Histologic studies showed this to be a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. The patient received 45 Gy in 25 fractions with external beam radiotherapy during 5 weeks. The treatment was well tolerated and review at 41 months revealed no evidence of recurrence.

“…28 Others found that low grade B cell lymphomas are prone to regress spontaneously and do not necessarily recur even after incomplete resection. 29 Several reports emphasize the need for lifetime follow-up given the tendency for recurrence in other organs with MALT tissues. 9 Studies of 101 primary conjunctival lymphoma patients found systemic spread in 7% of patients after 1 year, 25 and in 28% after 10 years.…”

Purpose: To analyze the clinical features, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors associated with lymphoproliferative lesions of the ocular adnexa in a Korean population.Methods: Data from 69 patients treated for adnexal lymphoproliferative disease in the 12-year period from 1991 to 2002 were retrospectively evaluated.Results: The 69 patients had a median age of 46 years (range, 15-73 years); 60 of these patients were diagnosed with extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphomas (MALT lymphomas) and had 10 year cause specific survival and relapse free survival rates of 95.6% and 82.6%, respectively. Of 6 patients (8.7%) with concurrent systemic lymphoma, including 4 diagnosed with stage IV disease, 3 died from lymphoma. Only one patient with a primary ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma developed systemic lymphoma, which was treated with surgical resection. Local recurrence either at the primary site or in the fellow eye occurred in 11.6% of patients at a median follow-up time of 102 months (range, 79 -132 months), and was controlled using repeat irradiation in all cases. Statistical analysis showed the presence of concurrent systemic lymphoma, bilateral disease, and an advanced stage at diagnosis, were linked to lymphoma-related death (Log-rank test, p Ͻ 0.05) and systemic progression (Fisher's exact test, p Ͻ 0.05), and that the tumor location was not a prognostic factor for lymphoma-related death or relapse at any site.Conclusions: Ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative disease in Koreans occurred at a relatively young age, and was mostly orbitally located and of the MALT subtype, which is highly localized and rarely associated with extraorbital relapse. Primary or secondary status, stage at presentation, and bilaterality were found to be prognostic factors.

“…Low-grade gastric MALT lymphomas have been reported to regress after H. pylori eradication therapy [17]. However, it is still unclear whether colorectal MALT lymphoma is related to H. pylori infection and whether H. pylori eradication therapy is effective against colorectal MALT lymphomas.…”

Complete Histopathological Disappearance of Rectal Malt Lymphoma after Eradication of Helicobacter pylori Confirmed by ESD

In a 77-year-old Japanese housewife who was undergoing regular colonoscopy for follow-up of a colon polyp, a total colonoscopy showed an elevated lesion in the rectum. Histological findings of a conventional biopsy from the lesion showed a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and the patient was diagnosed as having clinical stage 1 disease. We elected to administer antibiotic therapy as the serological test for anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody was positive and Helicobacter pylori was detected in a culture of the biopsy specimens. The antibiotic therapy was successful, however, colonoscopy after the eradication therapy showed a residual lesion. Histologic examination can't deny the possibility of the presence of a residual MALT lymphoma. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed that the lesion was confined to the mucosa. We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and histological examination of the ESD specimen showed complete disappearance of the tumor. The patient remains in complete remission now, 1 year after the treatment.
