Gastric Lymphoma
52 year-old woman with chronic gastritis following a subtotal gastrectomy 14 years previously, presented with early satiety and vomiting. Endoscopy disclosed an ulcerated mass infiltrating the gastric wall; biopsies were consistent with malignant lymphoma, large cell type.
51 year-old woman with a history of nasopharyngeal lymphoma developed pyrosis (heartburn) and odynophagia (pain with swallowing) suggesting esophageal disease. Endoscopy showed no lesion in the esophagus, but revealed this extensive tumor involving the gastric wall. Portions had ulcerated (right), while other portions remained submucosal (left). Biopsies confirmed lymphoma metastatic to stomach.
