Abstract
INVOLVEMENT of the stomach by malignant lymphoma was first observed by Briquet1 in 1838. Since that time, a substantial number of cases have been reported in the medical literature. Lymphomatous invasion of the stomach occurs most frequently in Hodgkin's disease, lymphosarcoma and chronic lymphatic leukemia. Gastric infiltration in chronic myelogenous leukemia is rare. Symptoms arising from gastric lesions are often minimal or overshadowed by other manifestations of the disease. They are rarely the presenting complaints.This paper concerns a patient who sought medical advice because of gastric symptoms. Clinical and x-ray evidence supported a diagnosis of carcinoma of the stomach. . . .Keywords
