Abstract
Although non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is common, pr imary esophageal lymphomas represent less than 1% of all gastrointestinal t umors. We report a case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the esophagus. Ga-67 scintigraphy showed characteristic intense accumulation in the esoph ageal wall. The histopathology belonged to the category of mucosa-associate d lymphoid tissue lymphoma.
