Malignant lymphomas rarely cause symptomatic esophageal involvement. We describe a patient presenting with the typical clinical and radiological features of an esophageal tumor. Endoscopic findings suggested a malignant tumor different from a carcinoma. Histology and cytology of biopsies revealed a highly malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Interestingly, further staging procedures revealed a well-differentiated stage IV NHL. Thus, the esophageal tumor must be interpreted as a de-differentiated manifestation of an unrecognized lymphoma of low malignancy.
恶性淋巴瘤很少引起有症状的食管受累。我们描述了一名表现出食管肿瘤典型临床和放射学特征的患者。内镜检查结果提示为一种不同于癌的恶性肿瘤。活检的组织学和细胞学检查显示为高度恶性的非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)。有趣的是,进一步的分期检查显示为高分化的IV期NHL。因此,该食管肿瘤必须被解释为一种未被识别的低恶性淋巴瘤的去分化表现。
