Low-grade B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) that occur in the stomach, small intestine, salivary gland, lung, and thyroid are indolent neoplasms characterized by a prolonged clinical course and persistent disease at the site of origin¹. The mechanism by which the neoplastic cells remain committed to a single site, the presence or absence of neoplastic-cell traffic or homing, and the specific dissemination of MALT lymphomas to other mucosal sites² are all properties of these lymphomas that are poorly understood. Investigation of these features has been hampered by the absence of a tumor-cell-specific marker with which to examine the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
