A member asked:

Can you have malt lymphoma with no symptoms? what are the usual symptoms?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes you can: Malt lymphomas are typical indolent and asymptomatic. They can involve the lymph nodes or be infiltrating an organ. Symptoms, when present, are due to local compression causing swelling or local pain if the tumor has grown to a good sized mass.
