The coexistence of multiple primary malignant tumors in an organ is rare. This includes the extremely rarely reported combination of gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric MALT-type lymphoma as synchronous tumors. We describe a case of a 72-year-old man diagnosed with this combination. He had no remarkable medical history and came to our hospital because of discomfort in the gastric area. Although the biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma only, the microscopic findings after partial gastrectomy incidentally showed additional lymphoma that was subsequently confirmed by immunohistochemistry as MALT-type lymphoma. This case study and literature analysis aims to raise awareness of the possibility of synchronous malignant neoplasm in the stomach to enhance preoperative diagnosis.

Orbital Richter Transformation With Subsequent Orbital MALT-type Lymphoma in a Patient With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

A 74-year-old man with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) presented with large salmon-colored patch lesions along the inferior fornix and superotemporal conjunctiva of the OS. The patient underwent an incisional biopsy of the lesions, which showed a CLL with areas of large B-cell lymphoma, consistent with Richter transformation. Following medical and radiation-based therapy of these lesions, the patient returned 3 months later with inferomedial preseptal swelling in the contralateral eye, which biopsy proved to be recurrent/resistant low-grade CLL with a posttreatment extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma pattern.

Lacrimal gland lymphomas are rare orbital tumors, constituting a minor fraction of all orbital and ocular adnexal malignancies. This case study presents an 83-year-old male with bilateral lacrimal gland tumors, more prominent in the left orbit, causing decreased visual acuity, red eye, excessive tearing, and diplopia. Initial ophthalmological evaluations and imaging suggested bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma, confirmed by histopathology as diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the MALT type.

The three main types of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), recognized by the current lymphoma classifications are the extranodal MZL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, the splenic MZL, and the nodal MZL. They share some karyotype lesions (trisomies of chromosomes 3 and 18, deletions at 6q23), and alterations of the nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) pathway are also common in all of them. However, they differ in the presence of recurrent translocations, mutations affecting the Notch signaling pathway (NOTCH2 and less commonly NOTCH1), the transcription factors Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) or the receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase delta (PTPRD).
