AI Article Synopsis
- Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a type of low-grade cancer that makes up a small portion of lymphoma diagnoses and is frequently linked to infections or autoimmune diseases.
- The stomach is the most common location for this lymphoma, but primary hepatic MALT lymphoma is very rare and often occurs alongside viral hepatitis.
- This report describes a unique case of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma in a patient without a history of hepatitis, but with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Article Abstract
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a low-grade malignant lymphoproliferative disease, representing a low percentage of newly diagnosed lymphoma cases. Although its exact cause is still unclear, it is commonly associated with infections or autoimmune diseases. The stomach is the most frequent site for MALT lymphoma, with primary hepatic MALT lymphoma being exceptionally rare. Cases of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma often coincide with viral hepatitis. In this report, we present a case of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma in a patient with no history of hepatitis but complicated by primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
