Abstract

This paper reviews small intestinal lymphoma. Although a major emphasis is placed on primary small intestinal lymphoma of the “Western” type, the important topic of lymphoma in celiac disease is discussed. Our own recent experience of 7 patients with lymphoma in celiac disease is presented. The lymphoma of immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (“Mediterranean” lymphoma) and the associated α-chain disease are also reviewed, with emphasis on the differences from the “Western” type of primary small intestinal lymphoma.

Résumé

Cet article est consacré au lymphome de l'intestin grÊle. Bien que centré sur le lymphome primitif (dit lymphome de type occidental) il concerne également le lymphome qui traduit une manifestation d'une maladie immunoproliférative de l'intestin (qualifié de lymphome de type méditerranéen) et ce à partir d'une expérience de 7 malades présentant une maladie coeliaque. Ce second type et la maladie associée de la chainealpha sont également étudiés en s'attachant à souligner les éléments distinctifs qui les séparent du lymphome primitif.

Resumen

Este artículo revisa el tema del linfoma intestinal. Aunque se hace énfasis principal en el linfoma intestinal primario del tipo “Occidental,” también se discute el tópico relativo al linfoma en la enfermedad celiaca. Se presenta un estudio sobre nuestra experiencia reciente con 7 pacientes con linfoma en enfermedad celiaca. También se revisan la enfermedad inmunoproliferativa del intestino delgado (linfoma “Mediterráneo”) y la enfermedad de cadena α asociada, con énfasis en sus diferencias con el tipo “Occidental” de linfoma primario del intestino delgado.
