Abstract
FROMETA NEIRA, Carlos; GONZALEZ GOMEZ, Juan Manuel and ARREDONDO LOPEZ, Miguel. Lymphoma type MALT of the parotid gland. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2010, vol.47, n.3, pp. 336-340. ISSN 1561-297X.
The lymphomas type MALT or the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, are the most recent variety of non-Hodgkin lymphomas present mainly in the gastric mucosa associated with Helycobacter pylori infection and in the thyroid gland in relation to Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Frequently the origin of this lesion can't be determined only by cytology study, thus it is necessary the histopathology analysis for a definitive diagnosis in most cases. Present paper includes the case of male patient with bilateral volume increase of both parotid glands and a diagnosis cytopathological of a benign lymphoepithelial process and the development of a type MALT lymphoma in relation to the right parotid gland.
Keywords : Type MALT lymphoma; parotid gland tumor.
