A 54-year-old woman was found to have a gastric ulcer on medical examination, but the course with normal medication was monitored. Nine months later, she was transported to our hospital. A huge gastric ulcer was revealed and biopsy specimen indicated MALT lymphoma. We performed a total gastrectomy because it perforated before therapy, leaving a massive tumor. The final pathological diagnosis was DLBCL. She was administered rituximab-CHOP therapy for the remnant lesions. After 6 courses, the lesions disappeared. The patient has been alive without any recurrence or metastasis five years after surgery.

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.

Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction

Esophageal perforation is a severe medical condition characterized by a breach in the integrity of the esophageal wall. This breach can occur due to various factors such as trauma, medical procedures, or underlying diseases. When the esophageal wall is compromised, it allows food, fluids, and digestive juices into the chest cavity or adjacent structures, leading to potential complications and health risks.
The location of esophageal perforation can vary, occurring anywhere along the esophagus.
