Abstract: Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics of diagnosis and treatment of primary gastric malignant lymphoma (PGML). Method The data from 34 PGML medical records were reviewed retrospectively between January 2001 and May 2008. Results There were 23 cases of B-cell malignant lymphoma, 7 cases of T-cell malignant lymphoma, and 4 cases of non-B and non-T small cell lymphoma. Confirmed by pathology, 14 cases of them had metastasis to lymphoid nodes and 5 cases had invaded the organs nearby. All of these 34 cases had gastroendoscopy before operation. Conclusions PGML has no specific manifestation, and the definitely diagnostic rate of gastroendoscopy is low. The surgical resection is the major therapy.Operative pattern,the size of tumor,pathological stage can predicate the prognosis for PGML.
