[Primary lymphomas of the stomach]

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Oncology
• Pathology

Context:

• Gastric lymphomas are complex neoplasms with diverse presentations.
• Diagnosis and treatment remain challenging due to polymorphism.

Purpose:

• To review clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastric lymphomas.
• To compare outcomes with gastric carcinoma.

Summary:

• Analysis of 28 gastric lymphoma cases over 20 years.
• Highlights the anatomical, pathological, clinical, radiological, and endoscopic variability.
• Outcomes were compared to gastric carcinoma, which has a poorer prognosis.

Impact:

• Provides insights into the clinical management of gastric lymphomas.
• Contributes to understanding the comparative prognosis of gastric neoplasms.
• Aids in differentiating gastric lymphomas from gastric carcinoma.
