SIR—Primary lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract probably originate from mucosal lymphocytes and represent the largest group of all extranodal lymphomas. 1 They originate in the stomach in 24% of cases, in the small bowel in 10%, in the colon and rectum in 7%, and in Waldeyer’s ring in 11%. 1 Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, is a subtype of lymphoma. 1–3 Gastric MALT lymphoma has been causally linked to mucosal Helicobacter pylori infection. MALT lymphomas have been reported in other parts of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the duodenum, ileum, and colon. We report MALT lymphoma involving the oesophagus.A 61-year-old man had an episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding from a gastric antral ulcer. He had evidence of H pylori infection and was treated with metronidazole, tetracycline, and bismuth subsalicylate in addition to ranitidine. Repeat upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a nodular antral mass. Biopsies indicated MALT lymphoma. No evidence of H pylori infection was found. He was started on clarithromycin and lansoprazole and referred to us for further evaluation. Endoscopy showed an antral nodular mass (22 cm), fundic polypoid mass (23 cm), and two linear raised lesions (12 cm) with apparently normal overlying mucosa in the proximal
