  Fig. 1. Endoscopic and histopathology of primary follicular lymphoma of the duodenum. (A) Whitish multi-nodular mucosal lesions are present around major papilla. (B) A hypoechoic mucosal disruption is noted is demonstrated by endosonography. The lesion is limited to the mucosa. The muscularis propria remains intact between the two arrows. (C) Histologically, a polypoid lesion shows a prominent germinal center. This neoplastic germinal center is immunopositivity for CD10 (D) and Bcl-2 (E). Note identical FL cells are also seen in the mucosa outside germinal center. (F) CD21 immunohistochemical stain highlights remaining follicular dendritic cells that are condensed in the periphery of the neoplastic germinal center.
