Core Tip

Core Tip: Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue extranodal marginal zone (MALT) lymphoma is a rare tumor that rarely occurs in the urinary bladder. There is no consensus on imaging findings or treatment due to the limited number of reports. We present herein, a rare case of primary bladder MALT lymphoma in a female patient from an imaging perspective. This case summarizes the imaging features of bladder MALT lymphoma and highlights the role of different imaging modalities in evaluating therapeutic efficacy and long-term follow-up after the therapy.
