Core Tip	This is a case of a 37-year-old gentleman presenting with chronic esophageal ulcers. Endoscopic biopsy samples were taken. Immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin and eosin staining of the biopsy samples were consistent with mucous associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. There was no sign of disease process in the stomach, and radiological studies revealed no evidence of metastasis. In consideration of these findings a diagnosis of primary esophageal MALT lymphoma was made, which is an extremely rare occurrence. On the basis of our experiences we recommend keeping primary esophageal MALT lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of chronic esophageal ulcers that are resistant to conservative management.
