    Abstract:
    Recent studies have suggested that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastritis may play an important role in the pathogenesis of primary gastric lymphoma. Recently, triple therapy using proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, has been established for the eradication therapy of H. pylori infection, and is also recommended for the treatment of the superficial type of low-grade gastric MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue ) lymphoma. MALT lymphoma of the gastric stump is rare, and total resection or chemotherapy for MALT lymphoma of the gastric stump has been previously reported. Therefore, there is no evidence that eradication therapy is effective for low-grade MALT lymphoma of the gastric stump. Our case illustrates the remarkable efficacy of eradication of H. pylori for low-grade MALT lymphoma of the gastric stump without other modalities such as surgery and systemic chemotherapy.
