A Case of Multiple Lymphomatous Polyposis

Abstract

Multiple lymphomatous polyposis (MLP) is a rare and unique clinical entity that manifest as multiple polyps occurring throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike MALT-type lymphoma, MLP has a high tendency for extra-intestinsl spread and short mean survival time, The malignant cells of MLP share morphological, immunohistologic and cytogenetic similarity with cells of nodal-based mantle cell lympboma. We report a case of MLP that is presented with multiple polyposis affecting stomach, duodenum, small intestine and colon/rectum.
