Multiple lymphomatous polyposis of the gut.
Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is very rare. We report two cases affecting duodenum, small intestine and colon/rectum, both with extensive disease, making radical surgery impossible and chemotherapy the treatment of choice. One patient died 23 days after initial treatment of myocardial infiltration, and the other is still alive 21 months after initial treatment.
