Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue

Preferred Label : Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue;

NCIt synonyms : Lymphoid Tissue, Mucosa-associated; MALT;

CISMeF acronym : MALT;

NCIt definition : Lymphoid tissue located beneath the mucosal epithelia of those mucosal surfaces that have contact with the external environment, such as the respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. MALT consists of a collection of predominantly small lymphocytes, fewer larger, transformed lymphocytes, and plasma cells. It protects the body from pathogens that enter via the mucosa. MALT gives rise to a distinctive type of B-cell lymphoma that usually follows an indolent clinical course.;
