Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis and primary B-cell gastric lymphoma.
Lancet 1991 November 10
Although lymphoid tissue is absent in normal gastric mucosa, primary lymphomas arise in the stomach and most of these recapitulate the features of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Gastric lymphoid tissue is known to be acquired in response to local infection by Helicobacter pylori, and we have confirmed this in 450 patients with H pylori-associated gastritis of whom 125 showed mucosal lymphoid follicles. In 8 patients, B lymphocytes infiltrated epithelium, which is a feature characteristic of MALT. We also examined 110 cases of gastric MALT lymphoma and found H pylori infection in 101 of these (92%). We conclude that gastric MALT is acquired in H pylori infection and that this provides the necessary background in which MALT lymphoma might develop.
