Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a malignant B cell lymphoma that develops from MALT. The stomach is the most common site of MALT lymphomas but be found anywhere in the body. Adult MALT lymphomas are not rare diseases, but in children, intestinal MALT lymphomas are very rare. We treated a 12-year-old boy who underwent segmental resection of the small intestine due to recurrent intussusceptions, 2 months apart, and was diagnosed with an intestinal MALT lymphoma. He received multiple chemotherapeutic agents (vincristin, cyclophosphamide, prednisone, methotrexate, doxorubicin and cytosine arabinoside) according to the CCG-5961 protocol for 3 months. Currently, he is alive and disease free.
