MALT lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma) is the most common type of marginal zone lymphoma, making up about 61% of all MZL cases. While it most commonly occurs in the stomach, it can develop in other tissues and organs (called nongastric MALT lymphoma). MALT lymphoma can be divided into two main types:
• Gastric MALT - occurs in the stomach and is most common
• Nongastric MALT - develops in other tissues like the lungs and salivary glands

While the search results don't specifically mention lingual tonsil cases, MALT lymphoma can occur in various mucosal tissues throughout the body. Since this is a rare condition, connecting with others who share your specific diagnosis may take time.
