Abstract
Stomach is the commonest extranodal site of lymphomas. A case of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of stomach is reported here for its unusual way of presentation. Fifty year old male presented with features of perforation peritonitis, which on exploration turned out to be a NonHodgkin’s lymphoma of stomach with perforation. Usually gastric lymphomas are diagnosed on upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination and biopsy in patients with epigastric pain, early satiety and weight loss. Detailed review of literature denotes that spontaneous perforation in a case of lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon, although many cases of perforation after chemo or radiotherapy are reported.
