Detailed explanation-2: -The MALT include the tonsils, and all the tissues associated with the mucosal surfaces of the respiratory tract, of the intestinal tract, referred to as the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), and including the Peyer’s patches of the ileum, and of the genitourinary tract.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is MALT lymphoma? MALT stands for mucosa associated lymphoid tissue. The mucosa is the moist tissue that lines some organs and body cavities, including the nose, mouth, lungs, and digestive tract. So MALT lymphoma starts in the body organs, and not in the lymph nodes.
