Abstract
Many patients present to our clinic with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Most have nonspecific symptoms that cannot be immediately attributed to H. pylori. The joint European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN)/North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) guidelines recommend upper gastroscopy to detect the cause of such symptoms. Herein, we present the case of a 9-year-old girl diagnosed with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma associated with H. pylori infection using upper gastroscopy. We believe that a patient of such a young age with this serious condition secondary to H. pylori will highlight the importance of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in such cases.
