Detailed explanation-1: -Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, or extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT, is a low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. MALT lymphoma occurs most frequently in the Waldeyer ring, gastrointestinal tract, skin, lungs, thyroid, salivary glands, and orbit; thymic MALT lymphoma is quite rare.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ found within the superior mediatinum, behind the upper part of the sternum. This organ is active in children, but at the start of puberty, until old age, it starts to atrophy, producing fewer T-cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The tonsils are mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue (MALT) that trap pathogens entering the nasal and oral cavities.
Detailed explanation-4: -The thymus is a small gland that’s part of your lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues, vessels and organs such as your tonsils, spleen and appendix. Your lymphatic system is a part of your immune system.
