Abstract
The digestive tract is the most frequent site of extranodal malignant lymphomas. Lymphomatous polyposis is one of them, and its prognosis is poor. It corresponds to a digestive localization of mantle cell lymph oma. In most cases it is discovered following digestive symptoms. Howe ver, in some cases this digestive malignant lymphoma may be asymptomat ic. Thus complete endoscopic exploration of the digestive tract includ ing biopsies is necessary for every patient presented with lymph node mantle cell lymphoma.
