Abstract

Helicobacter pylori have been causally linked to primary gastric B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. Antibiotic therapy to eradicate H. pylori has been shown to induce remission of such lymphoma. We report a case of primary B-cell MALT lymphoma of the jejunum associated with H. pylori. The literature of intestinal MALT lymphoma is reviewed.
