ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical and endoscopic features of Gastric mucosa- associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma. Methods Clinical and endoscopic data of thirty two patients with gastric MALT lymphoma diagnosed pathologically after opration were analyzed. Results Patients with gastric MALT lymphoma had a median age of 51.3years with male predominance and a bimodal age distribution pattern, aged 30~ 39 and 60~ 69 years respectively. The symptoms were not characteristic.The tumor originated from antrum in 12 cases,corpus in 8 and multifocal lesions were found in 12 instances. The tumor appeared infilitrative in 12, ulcerative in 16 and nodular in 6 patients endoscopically. Lymphatic metastasis was detected in infiltrative type, before the serosa was involved. Immunohistochemistry showed B- cell lymphoma in all the 32 cases.And Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection was found in 27 cases(84.4% ).Nocorrelation was found between endoscopic types and manifestations.Metastasis to local lymph nodes was found early in infiltrative tumor.Conclusions It is suggested that H.pylori infection may play a role in the pathogenesis of gastric MALT lymphoma.
