ABSTRACT
The stomach is the most common site involved in primary gastrointestinal lymphoma. Helicobacter pylon [HP] plays a decisive role in the pathogenesis of gastric marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue. Eradication therapy has become widely accepted as initial treatment of localized low grade MALT lymphoma. Further studies are needed to determine the most adapted treatment in non-responding patients. A long-term endoscopic follow-up is recommended due to the increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma in spite of Helicobacter pylon eradication
