ABSTRACT
The MALT tumor or maltoma, is a lymphoma type not yet well
defined because it seems to be from the lymphatic tissue, but it is
not included in that variety. It is more common in adults, the most
frequent location is in the stomach. In children this tumor located
in the small intestine is rare. We report our surgical experience in
three patients who had a MALT tumor located one in the mucosa
of the ileum and two in the serosa and mesentery of the small intestine.
Each one had a complication: intussusceptions, bleeding,
bowel obstruction.
They had to be operated urgently. All three patients are alive, two
under surveillance and one under chemotherapy.
