Confocal laser endomicroscopy diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient treated for gastric diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma.
The association between gastric carcinoma and lymphoma is rare. Confocal laser endomicroscopy is a new diagnostic tool that allows the identification of cellular and vascular architecture during endoscopy. This is the first report of an in vivo early gastric carcinoma diagnosis by confocal laser endomicroscopy in a patient successfully treated for a primary gastric diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma.
