[Primary gastric lymphoma: a clinical and pathologic analysis of 25 cases].
25 cases of primary gastric lymphoma diagnosed in our hospital from 1973 to 1987 were analysed. Primary gastric lymphoma comprised 1.55% of the stomach malignancies. There were 25 gastric lymphomas among 198 patients with lymphomas (12.6%). The diagnostic accuracy with X-ray was 30.4%. However, with modern fiberoptic endoscopy and directed biopsy technique, a correct diagnosis was made in 72% of the cases. Of the 24 follow-up cases, the overall 5 years survival rate was 54.28%. Surgery combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy has yield a 5-year survival rate of 72%. Therefore, both correct and early diagnosis may contribute to improved prognosis.
