High-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma complicating polypoid nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and multiple lymphomatous polyposis of the intestine.
Three patients with multiple lymphoid polyps of the small intestine--two with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and one with multiple lymphomatous polyposis--developed high-grade B-cell lymphomas. A literature search has revealed only 10 previous cases of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia complicated by lymphoma and none of an association between multiple lymphomatous polyposis and high-grade lymphoma.
