A Differential Diagnosis of Unusual Gastric Ulcer

Diagnostics (Basel). 2022 Aug 10;12(8):1929. doi: 10.3390/diagnostics12081929.

Abstract

The endoscopic findings of diffuse large B cell lymphoma have various presentations. In our case, the patient had developed multiple elevated central ulceration lesions, and the peripheral elevated portion had a heaped-up margin. The margin had a sharp, smooth edge that was not infiltrative and could be confused with a simple gastric ulcer. Endoscopists should be aware of the possibility of multiple lymphoma ulcers with heaped-up margins. We present some unusual endoscopic features of lymphoma, which are easily misdiagnosed as gastric ulcers.

Keywords: diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL); endoscopy; gastric ulcer.
