What is the cause of malt lymphoma

MALT lymphoma refers to mucosa-associated tissue lymphoma. The etiology of mucosa-associated tissue lymphoma is not yet clear, but it may be related to infection factors, disease factors and chemical factors. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Infection factors

due to poor immunity of the body, infection by pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia psittaci, etc., are easy to cause mucosa-associated tissue lymphoma.

2. Disease factors

Due to autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, Hashimoto thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc., the body resistance is reduced, resulting in mucosa-associated tissue lymphoma.

3. Chemical factors

Due to long-term exposure to alkylating agents, croton oil, epoxides and other chemicals, it is easy to stimulate local tissue lesions, resulting in mucosa-associated tissue lymphoma.
