Abstract
A case of extensive primary lymphocytic lymphoma (lymphosarcoma) of the gastrointestinal tract is reported. At the time of presentation the patient had diffuse involvement of the gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the ano-rectal junction. Malabsorption was present. Pre-treatment immunologic studies showed elevated serum IgA and IgG, but impaired humoral and cellular immunity. Death occurred 13 months after diagnosis.
