Description
Summary:A 64-year-old woman presented with hepatic and pulmonary tumors of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma occurring 8 years apart. The present case carries the possibility of pulmonary metastasis of hepatic lymphoma or double primary lymphoma. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas tend to develop in the extranodal primary organ, rarely developing systemically among extranodal organs as in our case. Our experience is useful in understanding the progress and outcome of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.
