Abstract

We describe a case of gallbladder extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-ML). MALT-ML is rare, and its clinical manifestations are lack of specificity. A few cases have been reported, and no characteristic imaging features have been described. We discussed the challenges of MRI in diagnosing MALT-ML of gallbladder, especially in differentiating it from gallbladder cancer. We found a "comb-like" sign in the inner wall of gallbladder on T2WI, which may be helpful in diagnosing gallbladder MALT-ML.
