ABSTRACT
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT, previously known as MALT lymphoma, is a low grade B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Its most frequent locations are the gastrointestinal tract and the lungs while that of the colon is rare. Involvement of multiple mucosal sites is not a frequent finding but it does occur. We describe a case of a 70-year-old man who presented with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT involving three different sites: the lungs, the stomach, and the colon.

Calcium channel blockers are becoming more popular as first-line tocolytic agents. Serious side effects have rarely been reported and involved mainly intravenous use of nicardipine. We report the first case of acute pulmonary edema following tocolytic oral nifedipine. Possible contributing factors are mentioned.
