Abstract
A 60‐year‐old woman with Sjögren's syndrome showed recurrence of parotid mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with a simultaneous increase of serum sIL‐2R antigen levels 10 years after surgical treatment. Helicobacter pylori infection had been detected in the stomach since the beginning of the lymphoma. Although H. pylori was not detected in the recurrent parotid lymphoma, antibiotic therapy contributed not only to successful eradication of gastric H. pylori but also to disappearance of the recurrent lymphoma. Further studies on the mechanisms of occurrence of extragastric MALT lymphomas are needed to establish the treatment of extragastric MALT lymphomas. Laryngoscope, 2009

## Abstract Approximately 70% of gastric mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas can be successfully treated with __H. pylori__ eradication. The translocation t(11;18)(q21;q21) characteristic of MALT lymphoma is recognized as a marker for __H. pylori__ independency, but this marker is fo
Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are well-recognized complications of prolonged immunosuppression in recipients of both solid organ and bone marrow transplants, and they occur in 2% to 10% of these patients. 1 Most PTLDs are non-Hodgkin lymphomas; therefore, a mucosa-associa
