Abstract
Although the gastrointestinal tract is one of the main sites of extranodal malignant lymphoma, the tumour rarely occurs in the colorectum.1 Some malignant lymphomas originate from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection may cause regression of gastric MALT lymphoma.2 We report a 72-year-old Japanese woman with rectal MALT lymphoma which regressed after eradication of H pylori.
