Abstract

Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is a rare type of non Hodgkin lymphoma that has aggressive biological behavior, early systemic dissemination and poor prognosis. In most cases it is considered to be a gastrointestinal manifestation of mantle cell nodal lymphoma. We describe a case of a 55 year old man, with favorable outcome after chemotherapy.
