Abstract EN
A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) with increased plasma cell differentiation of the stomach.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed slightly elevated, whitish lesions in the gastric body.
Magnifying endoscopic observation revealed that the gastric surface epithelium was swollen, but the structure was not destroyed or diminished.
Elongated, tortuous vasculature was observed on the surface of the whitish lesions.
The patient underwent eradication treatment for Helicobacter pylori, which resulted in complete remission.
Although the appearance of abnormal vessels and the destruction of gastric epithelial structure are the typical features of gastric MALT lymphoma during magnifying endoscopy, the present case showed different features, which were rather similar to those observed in a previously reported case of gastric plasmacytoma.
The current case indicates that magnifying endoscopic features are not uniform among gastric MALT lymphomas.
