PRESENTATION OF AN UNRECOGNIZED LYMPHOMA AS ESOPHAGEAL TUMOR ENDOSCOPY Weyand, C. M., Goronzy, J. J., Huchzermeyer, H. 1986; 18 (2): 61-63

Abstract

Malignant lymphomas rarely cause symptomatic esophageal involvement. We describe a patient presenting with the typical clinical and radiological features of an esophageal tumor. Endoscopic findings suggested a malignant tumor different from a carcinoma. Histology and cytology of biopsies revealed a highly malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Interestingly, further staging procedures revealed a well-differentiated stage IV NHL. Thus, the esophageal tumor must be interpreted as a de-differentiated manifestation of an unrecognized lymphoma of low malignancy.
