Abstract
Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia and extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) are rare diseases in children. We report the first case of a child with STK4-mutated CD4+ lymphocytopenia who developed Epstein-Barr virus associated MALT lymphoma arising in the salivary gland. The child achieved complete remission with rituximab, and her immunodeficiency was cured by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The child remained well 24 months post transplantation.Entities:
