BACKGROUND Gastric non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare tumour that represents approximately 7% of all stomach cancers and 2% of all lymphomas. The most frequent location of gastric MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) lymphomas is in the antrum in 41% of the cases, and 33% can be multifocal. The risk of spontaneous perforation of a gastric MALT lymphoma is 4-10%. CLINICAL CASE 24 year old male...

Gastric lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) has characteristic clinicopathological features that are different from nodal-type B cell lymphomas. Before a lymphoma can arise within the stomach, MALT has to be acquired as part of a response to an immunological stimulus. In most instances, gastric MALT is acquired in response to infection by Helicobacter pylori. There are several ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous herpes virus that infects 90% of humans by adulthood, is linked to the development of various cancers, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric cancer, Burkitt lymphoma, nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and Hodgkin lymphoma. We reviewed the literature published since 1980 regarding an association between antibodies against EBV proteins and the risk of EBV-ass...

The concept of damage control surgery was first introduced in the 1990s. It has great significance treatment for critically ill patients, which not only greatly improves survival rate, but also helps doctors avoiding misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Herein, we present a case gastric perforation caused by neoplasm with critical condition patient. According to surgery, patient subjected repair tumo...

OBJECTIVE To present a histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of primary gastric lymphomas that was reclassified according to the new World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms. METHODS We reviewed the morphological and immunohistochemical features of 28 patients with gastric lymphomas, diagnosed in the Department of Pathology at the University Hospital of Tishre...

Despite advances in surgical treatment, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, gastric cancer remains a major global health burden. The most recent estimates show that it is the fourth most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide (Lee et al., 2012; Mahar et al., 2012). Most victims of patients with gastric cancer died as a result of complications associated with recurr...
