[Total regression of advanced gastric lymphoma after drug therapy]

Primary gastric lymphoma is a relatively rare entity that may have several different methods of treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We describe a case of advanced primary gastric lymphoma treated with chemotherapy. A 51-year-old male patient underwent total gastrectomy after two cycles of chemotherapy. The histologic examination of the gross specimen revealed total regression of the lymphoma. Literature review of this condition and a discussion about the diagnosis and treatment are presented.
