Abstract

Soft tissue mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare type of marginal zone lymphoma. Herein, we report a case of a 61-year-old patient who developed soft-tissue marginal zone lymphoma in the right arm. He was treated with rituximab-chlorambucil with good metabolic response and no evidence of disease recurrence after one year of follow-up.

Keywords: 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18f-fdg pet); extranodal marginal zone malt lymphoma; immuno-chemotherapy; mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphoma; soft tissue lymphoma.
