Abstract

FRANCO, Diana L.; ISLAM, Sameer  and  RUFF, Kevin. Endoscopic findings of primary follicular lymphoma. Biomédica [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.1, pp.21-23. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v35i1.2291.

A 79-year-old female with benign past medical history presented to the gastroenterology clinic complaining of long-standing symptoms of dyspepsia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed nodular smooth mucosa in the second part of the duodenum. The morphologic and immunophenotypic findings were consistent with low-grade follicular lymphoma. The purpose of this manuscript is to educate the reader on this unusual finding that is pathognomonic for gastrointestinal lymphoma.

Keywords : Lymphoma; duodenum; endoscopy; duodenal diseases; neoplasm.
