dc.description.abstractPurpose: To study primary gastrointestinal (GI) non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) in our region of the southeast Turkey, and to compare our results with those found in the relevant literature. Materials and methods: Fifty-five patients with surgical resection of primary GI NHLs were reviewed retrospectively, and their histologies were classified according to the Working Formulation. Clinical data obtained from pathology and endoscopy reports was also reviewed. Results: The cases of thirty-two male and 23 female patients were studied. GI NHLs were most frequent in the first and fifth decade of life (mean 30.9 years, range 3-75 years). Abdominal pain, weight loss and bleeding were the most common presenting symptoms. The primary sites of the tumors were: 16 in the stomach, 26 in the small intestine, 3 in the iliocecal region, and 10 in the large intestine. Eight (15%) of the 55 GI NHLs were of low-grade malignancy (5 lymphocytic and 3 follicular small cleaved cell), 38 (69%) were of intermediate-grade malignancy (9 diffuse small cleaved cell, 6 diffuse mixed, 23 diffuse large cell) and 9 (16%) were of high-grade malignancy (1 immunoblastic, 3 diffuse small noncleaved cell and 5 lymphoblastic). Conclusion: Clinicopathologically, our cases of primary GI NHLs seem to resemble the "Mediterranean" type of NHLs.en_US
