Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the gastric cardia is mostly lowgrade with a predominance of marginalzone B-cell lymphoma, also known as MALToma, which is primarily related to H. pylori infection. In contrast, highgrade lymphoma in this region is uncommon, occurs mainly in the elderly population, and shows high heterogeneity in cell types and prognosis. Therefore, accurate morphologic pathologic diagnosis and molecular characterization is essential for patient management.
