Untreated gastric pseudolymphoma

Abstract

Gastric pseudolymphoma is an inflammatory process that may simulate malignancy. In most reported cases, the initial diagnosis has been malignant lymphoma and treatment has been applied accordingly. We report a case of gastric pseudolymphoma wherein the diagnosis was made from multiple surgical biopsies, and follow-up now exceeds 11 years. To our knowledge, no other case of untreated gastric pseudolymphoma has been reported. This case may more closely represent the biologic nature of this presumably benign condition.
