MALT lymphoma is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma developing from B cells and is a type of marginal zone lymphoma. It can develop in any organs, but no case of primary cardiac location has yet been reported. We report the first observation of a primary epicardial MALT lymphoma mimicking a compressive pericardial syndrome. ().

Primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) is a rare entity often underdiagnosed due to its non-specific clinical presentation. Our aim is to share our experience in the management of these lesions, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nodules affecting the lung parenchyma. We retrospectively studied a total of 14 patients who had undergone surgery between 2013 and 2021.

Purpose: Daily online adaptive radiation therapy (oART) opens the opportunity to treat gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with a reduced margin. This study reports our early experience of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based daily oART treating gastric MALT lymphoma with breath-hold and reduced margins.
Methods And Materials: Ten patients were treated on a CBCT-based oART system.

Indolent clonal lymphoid disorders are not recognized as lymphomas as they generally need no systemic treatment, and depending on the lesion, need only limited clinical follow-up. These lesions are usually incidentally diagnosed during the work up for other disease. The recognition of indolent clonal lymphoid disorders is important to avoid misdiagnosis as lymphoma and unnecessary treatment.

Introduction: There is little information in the literature on the early, sub-clinical stage and laboratory test results in patients with primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung, a rare disease.
Case Description: In a 75-year-old man, an open lung biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of primary pulmonary lymphoma was preceded by almost six months of anaemia of inflammatory disease and monocytosis without any pulmonary symptoms. When he developed a dry cough, increasing dyspnoea and marked weight loss, these changes deepened and became associated with reactive thrombocytosis; markedly increased ferritin and C-reactive protein (positive acute-phase reactants), as well as reduced albumin and transferrin (negative acute-phase reactants).

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder confined to the liver, with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other organs. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type PHL in a patient with a long history of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 78-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia and was found to have a solitary liver tumor by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
