Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) B-cell Lymphoma of the Lung–A Case Report
與黏膜相關類淋巴組織（MALT）之淋巴瘤－病例報告及文獻回顧
摘要
與黏膜相關類淋巴組織一般是不會出現在正常器官之內。但是當器官發生慢性的細菌感染，慢性發炎，或是B淋巴球功能異常時就會出現。常見於消化道和上下呼吸道，偶爾也可以發生在乳房、甲狀腺和腎臟。與黏膜相關類淋巴組織之淋巴瘤經常是無臨床症狀，緩慢進行性的B細胞淋巴瘤。此疾病預後良好，本文提出一個七十歲病例，臨床表現為無症狀、體檢意外發現之肺部腫瘤。電腦斷層為實質化腫瘤、淋巴結腫大和毛玻璃樣的影像表現。支氣管鏡檢查為右上肺後枝內紫色的支氣管內腫瘤，細胞學檢查無惡性細胞。經手術切除，病理學報告為與黏膜相關類淋巴組織之淋巴瘤。
並列摘要
Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) is usually absent in normal organs unless there is a presence of chronic bacterial infection, inflammation, or B-cell dysfunction. The MALT is a primary site of B-cell immunity. The gastro-intestinal tract is the most frequently involved. MALT can occasionally be found in the respiratory tract, breast, thyroid gland, and kidney. MALT lymphoma is a low-grade malignancy, and is usually asymptomatic, slowly progressive, and of good prognosis. The pulmonary MALToma or MALT lymphoma is very rare, especially in Taiwan. We present a case with MALT lymphoma of the lung with the clinical presentation of an asymptomatic pulmonary mass.
