A New Subtype of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Syncytial Nodular Sclerosing: First Case Report of Primary Small Bowel Lymphoma

摘要

Gastrointestinal lymphomas may arise as a component of systemic disease with GI involvement or primary neoplasm. The diagnosis of primary GI lymphoma requires the lack of peripheral or mediastinal lymphadenopathy, normal white blood cell count, and differential on the peripheral blood smear; tumor involvement must be predominantly in the GI tract, and no evidence of liver or spleen involvement. The small bowel accounts for approximately 9% of the GI lymphomas.
