A low grade type of malignancy that arises in cells in
mucosal tissue which are involved in antibody production. These lymphomas occur
most often in the stomach but can also arise in the lung, thyroid, salivary glands,
eye, skin or soft tissues. MALT stands for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue.
M ALT lymphomas are typically slow growing and are usually diagnosed at an early
stage. They may be treated with low doses of radiotherapy or removed by surgery.
If they have spread, they are treated with chemotherapy. The outlook is good, even
when the disease is quite widespread.
