The digestive tract is the principal site of the extranodal non Hodgkin lymphomas. The purpose of our work was to describe the epidemiology and the prognosis of gastro-intestinal lymphomas in Togo. It was about a retrospective study relating to 32 cases diagnosed in Togo during 20 years. The gastro-intestinal lymphomas are not very frequent affection in Togo accounting for 5.6% of cancers of the digestive tract and occurring at 37 years an average age with a sex-ratio H/F to 1.5. Histologically, the lymphomas of intermediate rank were most observed according to the classification of Working Formulation (62.6%), where in fact the MALT lymphomas of high rank of malignity prevailed according to the classification of Isaacson. Their preferential topography was the stomach (59%). The narrowness of our technical plate poses enormous diagnostic problems of these lymphomas.
消化道是结外非霍奇金淋巴瘤的主要发病部位。我们这项工作的目的是描述多哥胃肠道淋巴瘤的流行病学和预后情况。这是一项回顾性研究，涉及20年间在多哥诊断出的32例病例。胃肠道淋巴瘤在多哥并非常见疾病，占消化道癌症的5.6%，平均发病年龄为37岁，男女比例为1.5。根据工作方案分类，组织学上最常观察到的是中度淋巴瘤（62.6%），而根据艾萨克森分类，实际上高度恶性的黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤占主导。其好发部位是胃（59%）。我们技术设备的局限性给这些淋巴瘤带来了巨大的诊断难题。
