Abstract
|
|
|
Primary gastric lymphoma is relatively uncommon, accounting for 3% to 8% of all
malignancies arising in the stomach. The most common symptom is abdominal pain,
closely followed by weight loss, anorexia, weakness due to anemia, nausea, and
vomiting. The diagnosis of gastric lymphoma usually requires a biopsy at the time of
gastroscopy or laparotomy. Microscopically, the vast majority of gastric lymphoid tumors
are non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas of B cell origin. Survival rates for all types of gastric
lymphoma generally exceed those for adenocarcinoma and other malignancies of the
stomach. We experienced one case of primary gastric lymphoma in puberty with a brief
review of the literature.
