Bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas: an update of a rare extranodal maltoma

Clinical Lymphoma & Myeloma
P L ZinzaniMichele Baccarani

Abstract

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas were first described by Isaacson and Wright in 1983 in a small series of patients with low-grade B-cell gastrointestinal lymphomas. Although MALT lymphomas occur most frequently in the stomach, they have also been described in various non-gastrointestinal sites, such as the salivary gland, conjunctiva, thyroid, orbit, lung, breast, kidney, skin, liver, uterus, and prostate. The risk of a diagnostic dilemma is reduced by the favorable prognosis of this low-grade lymphoma and its tendency to remain localized to the primary site for a long time. On therapeutic grounds, in contrast to nodal lymphomas, low-grade MALT lymphomas also respond favorably to local treatments, such as surgery and/or local radiation therapy. The outcome and prognosis of low-grade MALT lymphomas are more favorable than those for other extranodal lymphomas. The purpose of this review is to point out the state of the art regarding bronchus-associated lymphoid tissues lymphomas in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinics, and therapeutics, including our single-center experience of 23 cases.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
