Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the commonest non-epithelial malignant neoplasm of the stomach, accounting for about 3% of all gastric neoplasms. Helicobacter pylori is associated with the development of gastric lymphoma.
Presentation is usually late. Symptoms are often non-specific for example anorexia and weight loss.
Contrast radiography may show anything from a large tumour mass to accentuated rugae.
Treatment is dependent upon staging:
The prognosis is better for gastric lymphoma - 40-50% five year survival compared to those sited more distally in the gastrointestinal tract.
