AbstractA 53-year-old woman visited a doctor and complained of chest discomfort after meals. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed multiple granular elevations in the gastric body. After biopsies from the elevations, she was diagnosed with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Polymerase chain reaction also detected Helicobacter pylori and H. suis. Treatment to eradicate H. pylori and H. suis was successful. Endoscopic examination after the bacterial eradication treatment showed that multiple granular elevations remained in the gastric body; however, no lymphoma cells were found during histopathological examination. Thus, we reported a case of H. pylori-positive gastric MALT lymphoma with a unique morphology associated with H. suis superinfection.

Multiple lymphomatous polyposis (MLP) is a rare condition, described in the literature as a presentation of extranodal mantle cell lymphoma. We report a rare case of follicular lymphoma presenting as MLP in a young woman with a short history of haematochezia who underwent colonoscopy. Immunohistochemistry on colonic biopsies confirmed follicular lymphoma. Microscopic examination found an extensive and dense lymphoid infiltrate, which demonstrated a follicular growth pattern. The neoplastic cells were positive with BCL2, BCL6, CD10 and CD20, and were negative with CD3, CD5, Cyclin D1 and SOX11. CT staging showed disseminated lymphadenopathy and the patient was commenced on chemotherapy. Endoscopic evaluation and histopathological analysis are vital for the accurate diagnosis of MLP. Our case demonstrates that follicular lymphoma should be considered as a differential, as not all cases of diffuse colonic MLP are related to mantle cell lymphoma. This distinction must be made to provide the best clinical management for the patient.

AbstractMantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subset of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with a tendency to involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and presents as multiple lymphomatous polyposis of one or multiple segments of the GI tract. Here, we report an unusual case of a 58-year-old female presenting with chief complaints of constipation, bleed per rectum, and unintentional weight loss of 15 kg over 6 months. Colonoscopy revealed the entire colon to be studded with polypoidal lesions of varying sizes which were biopsied. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed the polypoidal lesions to represent MCL. Computed tomography scan showed numerous variable-sized polypoidal lesions scattered throughout the entire colon along with paraaortic and mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Thus far, she has undergone three cycles of chemotherapy with R-CHOP resulting in significant tumor reduction and symptomatic improvement in her well-being.
