[6 cases of small intestine lymphoma]. / Sei casi di linfoma dell'intestino tenue.

The Authors report six cases of primitive and secondary intestinal lymphomas. Surgical radicality was achieved only in three of them. In the other cases surgical resection carried out in emergency and late histological diagnosis did not allow a correct surgical treatment. Peri-operative mortality was 16%. Five patients underwent adequate radiation and chemo-therapy programme. Recurrences, secondary localizations, or other neoplasms elsewhere, require a prolonged follow up period for these patients.
