Appendiceal MALT Lymphoma in Childhood - Presentation and Evolution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) was first described by Isaacson et al. in 1983 (Isaacson & Wright, 1984). According to the WHO lymphoma classification, the indolent B cell lymphoma of MALT type is classified as a marginal zone lymphoma, thus called because it originates from the B lymphocytes normally present in a distinct anatomical location (marginal zone) of the secondary lymphoid follicles (Harris et al., 2001). MALT lymphomas comprise up to 40% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL); the median age at occurrence is 60 years, with a female predominance (Anonymous, 1997). In paediatric age MALT lymphomas are very rare. We report on a case of MALT lymphoma involving the appendix in a 6-year-old immunocompetent girl and its evolution toward an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at a middle-term follow-up.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
