Abstract

Primary gastric MALT non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare in immunocompetent children. To our knowledge, only two cases have been previously described. We report two cases of gastric MALT lymphoma associated with Helicobacter pylori. Clinico-pathological features are similar to those observed in adults. The relationship between the microbial infection and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma development is discussed.
