Abstract EN
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the third most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it is strongly associated with helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach.
MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland usually presents as a localized disease process in extranodal tissues.
The treatment options of MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland chiefly include radiation of the tumor, chemotherapy, surgical removal, or a combination of these strategies.
We report a case of localized MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland, with prolonged sustained remission after eradication of gastric Helicobacter pylori (H.
Pylori) infection.
He sustains in remission of lacrimal MALT lymphoma for four years without chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
