title: Primary esophageal T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the esophagus is a rare disease. We report a 52-year-old man who had a polypoid mass in the esophagus at endoscopy. Histology was suggestive of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; immunohistochemistry was positive for CD3, CD45 RO, LCA. He was treated with 6 cycles of CHOP and is disease-free 14 months later.
