title: [Primary lymphoma of the small intestine].
abstract: Lymphomas of the small bowel are rare tumors with few characteristics. Clinical and radiological diagnosis is difficult, because they may be confused by inflammatory or neoplastic forms, especially in primary involvement of the small intestine. Observation of three cases of primary extranodal lymphomas of the small bowel prompted a review of problems relating to the histology, clinical manifestations and the staging classification. This system is an important aid in the evaluation of the treatment and prognosis of these forms.
