  • Title: Primary hepatic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type in a liver transplant patient with hepatitis B cirrhosis.
    Author: Nart D, Ertan Y, Yilmaz F, Yüce G, Zeytunlu M, Kilic M.
    Journal: Transplant Proc; 2005 Dec; 37(10):4408-12. PubMed ID: 16387133.
    Abstract:
    We describe the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features of primary hepatic low grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in a liver transplant recipient with hepatitis B cirrhosis. MALT lymphomas arise in organs normally devoid of lymphoid tissue, which accumulates as a consequence of chronic antigenic stimulation associated with chronic infection or autoimmune disease. Primary hepatic MALT lymphoma is extremely rare; 13 cases have been reported worldwide to date. Our patient is the first case of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma associated with hepatitis B cirrhosis who was treated with orthotopic liver transplantation.
