Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is classically found in the stomach; however, in less common, cases can be found in extragastric locations. Colonic MALTomas are exceedingly rare and comprise a small group of extragastric cases. There is no standardized approach for optimal management of this disease. We report a case of a colonic MALT lymphoma found on colonoscopy that demonstrated the pillow sign and appearance of a benign lipoma. Despite antimicrobial and endoscopic therapy, the malignancy reoccurred in a patient with chronic hepatitis B, thereby precluding one of the mainstays of treatment, rituximab, until viral eradication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
