Abstract
- The primary T-cell lymphoma of the stomach is a extremely rare disease, only about 33 cases were described in the literature since 1986. Recent studies have proved a strong relation between Helicobacter pylori infection and several gastric diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, gastric cancer, and lymphoma. We report a case of primary gastric T-cell lymphoma with H. pylori infection in a 63-year-old male who had a history of epigastric fullness for 2 years. Gastroscopy showed a round ulcer of 1cm in size on anterior side of gastric angle. The gastroscopic biopsy revealed diffuse large cell malignant non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma on light microscopic examination, and T-cell immunophenotype with immunohistochemical study. The result of CLOtest was positive. No lymphadeno-pathy was found with chest roentgenogram and computed omography of abdomen and pelvis. Bone marrow examination showed normal finding.
