Abstract

A 60 year-old man was admitted to our department because of melena and general malaise. A barium enema study and colonoscopic examination revealed multiple small polyps of a variety of sizes and mucosal hemorrhage in. the large intestine.
The biopsy specimens obtained by colonscopy disclosed malignant lymphoma. Chemo-therapy was given immediately after establishment of the diagnosis, and the melena improved.
During the hospital course he developed sepsis and died 5 weeks after the initiation of VEMP treatment.
This case is considered to be compatible with multiple lymphomatous polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract, which was proposed by Cornes 1961 and occurs only rarely.
A detailed discussion and literature review are also given.
