    Abstract:
    A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital with enlargement of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the rectum after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. The patient was given a diagnosis of stage I MALT. Endoscopic observation revealed an enlarged rectal tumor with 3, 18 double trisomy. Rituximab monotherapy was given and complete remission was achieved. Rituximab monotherapy can be useful for MALT lymphoma of the rectum.
