[So-called pseudolymphomatosis of the stomach]

An observation of a polymorphnocellular variant of pseudolymphomatosis of the stomach diagnosed retrospectively is described. Initially, the case was treated as lymphogranulomatosis of the stomach, and in connection with the latter the patient was given long-term immunodepressive therapy. At autopsy (6 years later) atrophy of the lymphoreticular tissue and mucinous carcinoma of the stomach were revealed. The authors hold that the second tumour developed against the background of the immuno-depressive therapy, whereas at the beginning the condition was pseudolymphomatosis.
