Abstract
Primary esophageal lymphoma is very rare. We report a patient with non -Hodgkin's lymphoma involving the lower one-third of the esophagus. Pr esenting with dysphagia, he was treated successfully by transhiatal es ophagectomy along with combination chemotherapy. We review the relevan t literature.
