Abstract
IZQUIERDO CALZADO, Ana Dolores et al. MALT lymphoma in different locations. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.3, pp. 461-466. ISSN 1029-3019.
Three cases of patients with MALT lymphoma are described, who were diagnosed, treated and followed up at the hematology department of "Saturnino Lora" Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, to which they were referred by gastroenterologists, otolaryngologists and maxillofacial specialists of that institution. One of those patients presented with a nasopharyngeal and gastric mass, which appeared at different times; another patient had lymphoid tumor of the hard palate, which recurred in infradiaphragmatic lymph nodes; and a third one had a lymphoid node in the unilateral salivary parotid gland with recurrence in regional nodes after having been removed. All experienced a good clinical response at the beginning of conventional treatment, but in 2 of them non-local recurrences of the disease process were confirmed.
