[Pseudolymphoma of the stomach]

The article reports a case of pseudolymphoma of the stomach. The histological hallmark is lymphoid hyperplasia, with formation of reactive follicles. Most authors believe that this is a benign disorder. The exuberance of the lymphoid reaction may be misinterpreted, however, as malignant lymphoma, which may possibly explain the unduly good prognosis reported in some earlier studies of malignant lymphoma of the stomach.
