Abstract
A 69-year old male who suffered from melena and underwent lower digestivee tract endoscopy in a neighboring hospital was diagnosed with lymphoma, and was referred to our hospital. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated that the body of his stomach had thickening folds and many erosions ; erosions in the shape of a map were also observed on the entire circumference of the rectum. The lymphoma was diagnosed as a mantle cell lymphoma as a result of immunohistological examination.
Rituximab combination chemotherapy was initiated, and efficacy was confirmed by endoscopy. The patient is alive with no recurrence 20 months after treatment cessation.
