[Primary gastric non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma. Report of 38 new cases (author's transl)]

Abstract

38 cases of primary gastric non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma operated on between 1961 and 1978 are reported. They note two changes in the study of this localisation of malignant lymphomas: a diagnostic difference as the latter is more and more often made with certainly although histological difficulties persist, and a therapeutic difference as surgical removal is now associated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The relative importance of these three methods depends on each case, and in the future will depend on careful assessment of the lesions, of which classification is now accepted by everyone.
