pulmonary MALT lymphoma: a metagenomics investigation

Though rare, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the most common pulmonary B-cell lymphoma. By using an agnostic metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) approach, we aimed to investigate without prior hypothesis the presence of infectious agents sequences associated with pulmonary MALT lymphoma, in conjunction with the presence of oncogenic alteration and auto-immune disease.
