Abstract :
Herein, we report on a 24-year-old woman with a large wellmarginated
gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)
lymphoma. She presented with dysphagia and epigastric pain.
In esophagogastroduodenoscopy there was a huge bulging
submucosal mass with normal appearing mucosa in the cardia
in addition to a grade B gastro-esophageal reflux disease. She
was treated with a proton pump inhibitor and an intramural
gastric mass was confirmed by a computed tomography scan.
She underwent surgical operation and was well in her last follow-
up visit after 16 months.
