ABSTRACT
Malignant lymphoma in the gastrointestinal tract is mainly secondary. Primary gastric malignant lymphoma constitutes 1-4% of gastric malignant tumors without specific endoscopic findings, and histopathologically, it is mainly classified as non-Hodgkin lymphoma of B-cell origin. Otherwise, a rare type of gastrointestinal lymphoma is small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). SLL is the same as a chronic lymphocytic lymphoma and tends to grow slowly. Here, we report a case of a patient diagnosed with primary gastrointestinal SLL upon endoscopy screening with non-specific mucosal findings.
ABSTRACT
Progressive ataxia and palatal tremor (PAPT) is a subgroup of symptomatic palatal tremors which is characterized by palatal tremor and idiopathic progressive cerebellar ataxia. Here, we report a 59 year-old-male who presented with a 5 months history of progressive cerebellar ataxia, and was discovered to have both a symptomatic palatal tremor and torsional nystagmus. Various studies searching for the cause of the ataxia and the palatal tremor all came out negative, thus defining this patient as a PAPT.
