[Primary lymphomas of the gastro-intestinal tract].
The authors considered a series of 13 patients undergone surgical operation for primary malignant lymphoma of digestive system, with gastric, gastro-jejunal, jejunal, ileal and colic localization. They examined diagnostic and therapeutic features and the follow-up data. According to literature, the authors remark the importance of roentgenology and endoscopy, that together with bioptic data may reach a definite and early diagnosis; an elective and wide surgical exeresis seems useful in early stages, showing a better prognosis and epithelial malignancies. IV stage patients, however, had a very poor survival; a quick management appears today the only factor affecting long-term results in these patients.
