Abstract
Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is an uncommon but distinctive form of gastrointestinal lymphoma. Clinical symptoms may closely resemble tho se of colorectal carcinoma and diagnostic confusion may result. The co ndition has a characteristic pathological appearance and immunophenoty pe which is important in allowing distinction from other less aggressi ve forms of gastrointestinal lymphoma. We report a case of this unusua l condition in which the diagnosis was aided by fine needle aspiration cytology.
