Abstract

LIZARZABURU RODRIGUEZ, Víctor M. et al. Perforated gastric non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.3, pp.271-274. ISSN 1022-5129.

Lymphomas are solid tumors of the lymphatic system and these are divided into Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin tumors may originate from non-nodal tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract and they are considered primary when extranodal involvement is equal to or greater than 75% according to the nodal involvement. Extranodal gastrointestinal lymphomas represent 1% to 4% of tumors of the digestive tract, and 10 to 15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The stomach is the most common extranodal lymphomas site. We present the clinical case of a sexagenarian male natural of Chiclayo who had an upper GI endoscopy for non-specific symptoms of dyspepsia that only reports gastritis and when admitted to our institution is diagnosed by endoscopy, biochemical markers and pathology as a perforated gastric non-Hodgkin lynphoma

Keywords : Hodgkin disease; Lymphoma, non-Hodgkin; Gastrointestinal tract.
