A case of laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy with regional lymph node dissection for MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma is reported. The patient was a 45-year-old male with MALT lymphoma. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori as the initial therapy had failed to halt progression of the tumor. Considering certainty of the second therapy, he was transferred to surgical treatment. Total gastrectomy was required and this was performed by the laparoscopy-assisted approach. The postoperative course was satisfactory and the patient has been disease-free for 5 years after the operation. Laparoscopic operation could be a useful option in the second-line treatment for MALT lymphoma after failure to eradicate H. pylori.
