[Malignant lymphomas: involvement and complications of the gastro-intestinal tract (author's transl)].
Among 100 patients with malignant lymphomas we found 7 with primary involvement of the gastrointestinal tract and 2 with secondary affection. 2 patients suffered from M. Hodgkin and 7 from non-Hodgkin-lymphoma. The absence of characteristic diagnostic data may lead to incorrect results, as shown. There false diagnoses cannot be excluded neither by endoscopy nor by histology of biopsy material. Every operation on the gastrointestinal tract under the suspicion of a malignant lymphoma should be improved used for the staging. A radio- and/or polychemotherapy has stage depending to follow. On the other hand these are followed by a high percentage of gastrointestinal complications (6% incomplete ileus) which require a gastrointestinal intensive care.
