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 ulcerations (right), while other portions remained submucosal
(left). Biopsies confirmed lymphoma metastatic to stomach.
