Abstract
-
Esophageal involvement of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is extremely unusual; primary lymphoma is even less common. When lymphoma is found in the esophagus, generally it is the case with contiguous involvement of the gastric fundus, the cervical node, secondary to mediastinal lymph node compression, or late manifestation of advanced disease. Such cases cannot be labeled as primary esophageal lymphoma. We describe a case of primary esophageal non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma diagnosed by endoscopy and CT scan with the review of literatures.
