Rationale for change

MALT lymphoma is the clearer, more formal term. MALToma is an older/common shorthand nickname for the same entity. The “-oma” ending can sound like a benign tumor, but MALToma is still a lymphoma, meaning it is malignant, though often indolent.

Most AnKing cards use "MALT lymphoma," so this would make it clearer.
