Abstract

Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract by malignant lymphoma is a common phenomenon judging from autopsy series. Two large autopsy series, which used the older classification, reported 40 to 82% of reticulum cell sarcomas, 42 to 52% of lymphosarcomas, and 13 to 20% of cases of Hodgkin’s disease to have at least microscopic evidence of gastrointestinal involvement at the time of death.1,2 The lower figures are from a series in which only stomach involvement was considered.1 Most such involvement was late in the disease and often incidental.
