| Abstract | ||||
| Non-HodgkinŒs lymphomas (NHLs) are heterogeneous group of malignant lymphoproliferative disorders. It is a primary malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissue arising from the expansion of malignantly transformed lymphocytes. It is classified into two large categories; Hodgkin's lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Genetic alternations, viruses and environmental agents in addition to radiotherapy and chemotherapy are suggested as etiologic factors. Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is very rare compared to gastrointestinal tract lymphoma arising secondary to primary nodal disease. Extra nodal lymphoma can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly being the stomach followed by small intestine and ileocecal region. | ||||
