Svensk definition
Extranodalt lymfom av slemhinneassocierad lymfvävnad i kontakt med exogena antigen. Många av de platser där dessa lymfom uppträder, så som magsäck, spottkörtlar och sköldkörtel, saknar normalt lymfvävnad. De får MALT-vävnad genom en immunologiskt förmedlad störning.
Engelsk definition
Extranodal lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with mucosa that is in contact with exogenous antigens. Many of the sites of these lymphomas, such as the stomach, salivary gland, and thyroid, are normally devoid of lymphoid tissue. They acquire mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type as a result of an immunologically mediated disorder.
