Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Rare, but yes.
MALT is a low grade form of lymphoma and the response to treatment is usually very good. It is usually successfully treated with low doses of radiotherapy or it can be removed with surgery, depending on where it is in the body and on how widespread it is when found.

Given you are asking on a cancer page, it is likely that MALT stands for 'Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue' but the CA could stand for several things.
Sounds like you have been reading your pathology reports without your Dr. Your Dr is the best person to explain what this means in your case.
