GASTRIC ANAPLASTIC LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA ALK POSITIVE REVEALED BY HEMATEMESIS
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare hematological malignancy and a distinct subtype of mature T-cell lymphomas. ALCL includes two distinct entities: anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive and ALK negative. The most common sites of ALCL involvement are lymph nodes, followed by skin, bone and soft tissue. Here, we report a rare case of a 31-year-old man with ALCL ALK positive infiltrating the stomach in addition to lymph nodes. Gastric involvement was revealed by hematemesis. The lymphoma was classified stage III. A complete tumor response after chemotherapy type CHOP was obtained.
