title: [Surgical treatment of complicated gastrointestinal forms of non-Hodgkin lymphomas].
abstract: Authors represent their experience in surgical treatment of gastrointestinal forms of No-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) combined with adjuvant therapy. We also represent an Ann Arbor Staging System and an Updated Kiel Classification. From 1991 to 2001 we analyzed 39 patients with different localization of gastro-intestinal NHL's lymphomas. In this aspect more common are stomach's lymphomas--27 patients (71%); small bowel's lymphomas--3 patients (8%); more uncommon are the localizations in colon--3 patients (8%), predominantly in caecum and right colon; rectum--3 patients (5%). Add to thus we described one mechanical icterus caused lymphoma, one multi-lobular spleen lymphoma and one case of anterior abdominal wall lymphoma. All patients underwent surgery. Eight of them were operated as an emergency cases. Operative treatment of NHL isn't radical but in combination with adjuvant therapy can be life saving event in complicated forms.
