GASTRIC LYMPHOMA CAUSING GASTRIC OUTLET OBSTRUCTION

An unusual presentation of abdominal lymphoma causing gastric outlet o bstruction is reported. Gastric lymphoma should be considered in the d ifferential diagnosis of gastric outlet obstruction during childhood. The possibility of gastric malignancy should not be excluded only on t he basis of the patient's age. Complete resection of the tumor, with p ostoperative radiation and/or chemotherapy, is the best method of trea tment for high-grade lymphomas. Copyright (C) 1996 by W.B. Saunders Co mpany
