Abstract (EN): Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the most frequent non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the gastrointestinal tract, but colon involvement has only been reported in multiorgan lymphoma. We present a rare case of a woman with MALT involvement of eye conjunctiva, tonsils, stomach, duodenum and colon. In selected cases like this, with multiorgan involvement, we recommend performing colonoscopy, with biopsies for immunohistochemistry with CD10 and cyclin D1 for differential diagnosis with other entities with different prognosis, such as follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma, respectively.
