[Primitive gastric lymphoma: considerations in 3 cases (author's transl)]

The authors describe three cases of primitive lymphoma localized in the stomach. All three were diagnosed with precision only after surgery and histological examination of removed tissues: two were histiocytic malignant lymphomas and one was a malignant lymphoma with poorly differentiated lymphocytic elements. From the ensuing discussion of the diagnosis and prognosis of this malignancy it emerges that the long-term results are better than those pertaining to gastric adenocarcinoma.
