ARANGO-MOLANO,, Lázaro Antonio; SANCHEZ-GIL,, Andrés y BAUTISTA-PARADA., Ileana Rocío. Primary duodenal follicular lymphoma: Case report and literature review. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.4, pp.525-528. Epub 26-Abr-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.695.
Primary gastric lymphomas are rare diseases; however, they are the most common extranodal presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. 30% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas correspond to follicular lymphomas and at the same time, nearly 10% of follicular lymphomas are produced in the gastrointestinal tract. Risk factors for gastric lymphomas such as Helicobacter pylori infection, immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation, inflammatory bowel disease, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection were described. Follicular duodenal lymphoma was recognized as a variant of follicular lymphoma in 2016 according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, considering that it is a condition with special biological and clinical characteristics. Its diagnosis is usually incidental or mild and nonspecific symptoms may occur. The histological grade is usually low, and the clinical course is benign; Therefore, in most cases, expectant treatment has been adopted as an option. Other therapies with similar effectiveness are radiotherapy, the use of rituximab, and immunochemotherapy. There is not enough evidence to date to generate a single management protocol for this pathology.
