We reported five years follow up rare case of systemic malignant lymphoma on endoscope and colonoscope.
A 58-year-old male was admitted with appetite loss. We diagnosed systemic malignant lymphoma by biopsy under endoscope and immunological monoclonalities, and performed chemotherapies for five years.
On early stage, alimentary tract lesions were located in only superficial layers, and these lesions were deminished by chemothrapies. While five years, elevated lesions with thickened alimentary tract wall were appeared, accompanied with swelling of submandibular and cervical lymph nodes and swelling of tonzil.
This case suggested the progress of alimentary tract lesions in systemic malignant lymphoma showed same tendency to that of other lymphatic lesions.
