Abstract
- Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract most commonly affects the stomach. Endoscopic findings of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma are various and heterogeneous. Lesions may appear as ulcers, erosions, or erythemas. Gastrointestinal lymphomas presenting as multiple polyps on endoscopy are rare. No case of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma manifesting as multiple polyps has been reported on the stomach, although a few cases have been reported in the colon. We present a rare case of a 77-year-old female patient diagnosed as primary gastric marginal zone B-cell lymphoma presenting as multiple polyps. She was fully treated by combination chemotherapy.
