Hepatic B‐cell non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma of MALT type in the liver explant of a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection

B‐cell non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (B‐NHL) is a well‐documented complication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Marginal zone (mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue; MALT) lymphomas constitute a less common type of B‐NHL. In this article, we report a case of liver MALT in a cirrhotic patient, inciden...

Zusammenfassung:	B‐cell non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (B‐NHL) is a well‐documented complication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Marginal zone (mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue; MALT) lymphomas constitute a less common type of B‐NHL. In this article, we report a case of liver MALT in a cirrhotic patient, incidentally discovered after liver transplantation (LT). We discuss pertinent diagnostic and management strategies in this clinical setting. (Liver Transpl 2005;11:796–799.)
