Abstract

Abstract Appendiceal intussusception and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma are both uncommon entities, and this is the first report of the two occurring concomitantly in an 8-year-old boy. This report of a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma localized in the appendix has not been reported previously.
