AIM Gastro-splenic fistula is a rare entity in which malignant tumors are the primary cause, followed by perforated peptic ulcers and Crohn's disease. CASE REPORT A 66 years old patient undergoing chemotherapy for gastric large cells B lymphoma presented fever, fatigue and worsening of general conditions. A CT scan showed the presence of an abdominal abscess resulting from a pathological comm...

Primary gastric T-cell lymphoma is a rarely encountered lesion causing difficulties in endoscopic biopsy diagnosis. We present a case of gastric T-cell lymphoma with its clinical presentation, pathological, and laboratory findings, and discuss the differential diagnoses, and the biology of these lymphomas. The patient was a 55 year old male presenting with abdominal pain and nausea. He had two ...

abstract background: primary cardiac lymphoma is extremely rare. case report: in this care report, we present the case of a 46-year-old man with primary cardiac lymphoma involving left atrium and interatrial septum, presenting as dyspnea palpitation and irregular heart beat. the diagnosis was obtained by transthoracic echocardiography and surgical biopsy with subxiphoid approach which revealed ...

Helicobacter pylori infection is implicated in the development of two different gastric cancers: gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric MALT lymphoma. The association with the gastric MALT lymphoma is strong and causal. It is currently the only cancer which can be treated by a simple antibiotic treatment. However, the evolution of an H. pylori infection towards lymphoma is exceptional. Host suscept...

Gastric lymphomas are rare tumorsand accounts for only 3%. There two groups of lymphomas: mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) gastric lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The management this tumordepends on the histological grade and extension workup. It includes a clinical examination, radiological endoscopic work-up including total ileo-coloscopy in order to look synchronous intest...

primary adrenal lymphoma is extremely rare. we report a case with primary bilateral adrenal lym-phoma in a young male patient. he presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. pathologic study revealed malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell type (t- cell origin). patient recieved combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy but 22 months after diagnosis died because of progression of dis ease

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the stomach is the most common extranodal lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. It is usually accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, and eradication of H. pylori remains the mainstay of treatment for gastric MALT lymphoma. However, there is no consensus on the second-line treatment for patients with gastric MALT lymphoma who do not i...

Gastric tuberculosis is an uncommon disease and occurs as a primary or secondary condition (1). Gastric tuberculosis patients usually have concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis or an immune system deficiency (1-3), and as a result, it is particularly difficult to clinically and radiologically diagnose cases of isolated gastric tuberculosis (1-5). In this report, we present the clinical and radiolog...

Up to 40% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas occur at extranodal sites. Most of these arise in the gastrointestinal tract with the stomach as the commonest location. However gastric lymphoma makes up only 2-8% of all gastric malignancies and so, although the incidence is reported to be rising, these are relatively rare tumours. A conservative estimate would suggest that only 600 gastric lymphomas are d...

The endoscopic findings of gastric MALT lymphoma are variable, making its diagnosis very difficult. Although there are many reports on the endoscopic findings of gastric cancer, there are few on those of gastric MALT lymphoma. Herein, we summarize the reports on the endoscopic findings of gastric MALT lymphoma, and report its endoscopic diagnosis.
