Abstract

Objective To study the endoscopic and pathological features of gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma(GMALTL) in order to improve its diagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was done in 38 patients with GMALTL in terms of clinical,endoscopic and pathological findings. Results The mean age of the patients was 55.8,and male female ratio was 1.71∶1.The symptoms included upper abdominal pain,hunger pain,abdominal distention,nausea,vomiting or melena,in which,upper abdominal pain was the most common one.The tumor usually located at the lower portion of gastric corpus and/or antrum(42.1%),antrum only(26.3%),corpus only(26.3%).The accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis was 65.8%.Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that all the cases were B-cell lymphoma. Conclusion Deep biopsy combined with immunohistochemistry is helpful to the diagnosis of GMALTL.
