Abstract:
Multiple lymphomatous polyposis (MLP) is a distinctive type of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma, characterized by multiple polyps involving long segments of the gastrointestinal tract. Because MLP has a high tendency toward extraintestinal involvement such as bone marrow, lymph node, spleen and liver, MLP can cause various clinical manifestations and has a poor prognosis. We report a case of gastrointestinal MLP, who had an unusual conjunctival involvement during the course of anti-cancer chemotherapy.
