[Multiple lymphomatous polyposis--rare case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage].
The authors report a case of a 57 years old male patient, who was admitted to gastroenterology department with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage. The urgent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ulcerated polypoid tumor in the region of angulus of the stomach, and multiple polypoid lesions in the bulbar part of the duodenum. Upon this endoscopic appearance colonoscopy was performed, which revealed a polyposis syndrome in the colorectum. Computer tomography detected mesenterial, retroperitoneal and mediastinal lymph node involvement as well. In this case the primary or secondary origin of the gastrointestinal lymphoma was not verifiable. According to literature data this histological type of the gastrointestinal lymphoma has poor response to chemotherapy, the prognosis is unfavourable. In this particular case the administered chemotherapy resulted in total remission at the lymphoma patient clinically staging III Ae. In the proper follow-up examinations of the patient upper and lower endoscopy, histology samples, laboratory parameters, computer tomography, and physical examination in every 3 months are the methods.
