A CASE OF SUPERFICIAL TYPE OF GASTRIC DIFFUSE LARGE B CELL LYMPHOMA TREATED BY ERADICATION FOR H. PYLORI

Abstract

We reported a case of gastric diffuse large B cell lymphoma treated by eradication forHelicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori). Endoscopy with biopsy was done in this case. Diagnosis ofdiffuse large B cell lymphoma was made on the histological evaluation of the biopsied tissues.EUS and CT scan revealed stage I of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. He was treated byeradication of H. Pylori and this treatment of eradication was successful. The gastric lesionwas healed to gastritis. Then, he was treated distal gastrectomy of Billoth I method. No lymphoma tissue was detected on the operated tissue. We conclude that superficial type of gastric diffuse large B cell lymphoma may be treatedby eradication of H.pylori initially.
