lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue


Extranodal lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with mucosa that is in contact with exogenous antigens. Many of the sites of these lymphomas, such as the stomach, salivary gland, and thyroid, are normally devoid of lymphoid tissue. They acquire malt tissue as a result of an immunologically mediated disorder.
