Abstract

Abstract: Gastric MALT lymphoma is a common type of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma that has the potential for cure in patients found to have concomitant Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection. This case report explores the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of H. pylori ‐negative MALT lymphoma in a patient with a history of a RYGB. Abstract : In patients with gastric MALT lymphoma and a RYGB, regardless of H. pylori status, surveillance of both the gastric pouch and remnant should be performed as it can occur in both locations despite anatomical separation.
