Abstract:
Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is an uncommon type of primary non-Hodgkin's gastrointestinal B cell lymphoma. It is considered to represent mantle cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract mainly. However, rarely some cases of multiple lymphomatous polyposis belong to follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. Recently, WHO 2008 classification established a new diagnostic category of B cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and BL (DLBCL/BL). To the best of our knowledge, this subcategory of lymphoma presenting as lymphomatous polyposis has never been described. We herein describe a case of lymphomatous polyposis involving entire gastrointestinal tract, which turned out as DLBCL/BL on immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis. The patient was treated with hyper-CVAD chemotherapy regimen, resulting in a complete response.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
