New/Revised Entities in Gastrointestinal Lymphoproliferative Disorders.

ABSTRACT

The gastrointestinal tract is a common extranodal site of involvement by lymphomas. These may be diagnostically challenging because they can mimic a variety of benign conditions and may be difficult to subclassify when malignant. The classification of gastrointestinal lymphomas is an evolving area with some recent changes. Although some of these entities are rare, they are important to recognize because of the variable clinical presentations, comorbidities, and treatment implications. This article explores new and revised entities in gastrointestinal lymphoproliferative disorders.
