Clinical manifestations and endoscopic presentations of gastric lymphoma: a multicenter seven year retrospective survey

Abstract: The present study suggests that gastric lymphoma and suspected gastric lymphoma have similar clinical features. Gastric lymphoma presented mainly as macroscopic ulcerative lesions, whereas suspected gastric lymphoma appeared mainly as infiltrative lesions. Although the diagnostic rate of gastric lymphoma was relatively low (21%), it can be identified by endoscopy (60%). To improve diagnosis, repetitive endoscopic biopsies should be performed and novel endoscopic techniques developed in the future.

“…The main differential malignant diagnoses for an antral gastric mass are adenocarcinoma, 37 gastric carcinoma, 38 gastric lymphoma, 39 gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), 40 and neuroendocrine tumors 41 in adults and children. The CT scan misdiagnoses gastric tumor in 23% of these cancers 37 .…”

“…1 The clinical manifestations of gastric lymphoma is obscure and it is difficult to distinguish from other benign or malignant gastric tumors. Endoscopic findings of gastric lymphoma are various and non-specific, may range from simple mucosal changes to a resemblance to adenocarcinoma, causing a misdiagnosis.…”

“…Endoscopic findings of gastric lymphoma are various and non-specific, may range from simple mucosal changes to a resemblance to adenocarcinoma, causing a misdiagnosis. 1 Several types of ulcers such as small or penetrating ulcers may be indistinguishable from benign and carcinomatous ulcers. Furthermore, the infiltrative pattern may also be observed in benign conditions such as Menetrier's disease and linitis plastica.…”
