Sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome (SLS) is a rare condition that elucidates the association between sarcoidosis and the development of lymphoma. It is believed that the chronic active inflammation from sarcoidosis increases the risk of malignant transformation of lymphoid cells. There are only 4 documented cases of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in patients with sarcoidosis, and we present the first reported case of a patient with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-negative gastric MALT lymphoma preceding the diagnosis of gastric sarcoidosis.
