Cancer Treat Res Commun. 2020:24:100194. doi: 10.1016/j.ctarc.2020.100194. Epub 2020 Jul 12.

Abstract

Mostly primary gastric lymphomas are of the non-Hodgkin variety. Primary Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) of the stomach is an unusual entity that may be a big challenge in diagnosis. We reporter are case presenting as gastric outlet obstruction, which was later diagnosed as primary Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the stomach. Its rare coincidence makes it worth to be reported to sensitize clinicians as well as pathologists for the uncommon extra nodal site of Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Keywords: ABVD protocol; Hodgkin's lymphoma; Immunohistochemistry; Lymphadenopathy; Primary gastric lymphoma.
