Abstract:
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although it can have gastrointestinal involvement, there are limited recorded cases that show primary esophageal DLBCL. This report discusses the case of an 85-year-old female who initially presented with weight loss associated with dysphagia and was later diagnosed with an esophageal mass by endoscopy. Pathology showed large, atypical lymphocytes, and the final morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings were most consistent with a diagnosis of primary esophageal DLBCL.
