RESUMEN
El estómago constituye la localización más frecuente del linfoma no-Hodgkin extranodal. El linfoma difuso de células grandes B es el tipo histológico predominante. Es un linfoma agresivo que inicialmente se presenta como enfermedad localizada asociada o no a la infección con Helicobacter pylori. El tratamiento conservador con regímenes quimioterápicos con antraciclina seguidos o no por radioterapia en campos comprometidos ha reemplazado a la gastrectomía como tratamiento de primera línea.
ABSTRACT
The stomach is the extranodal site most commonly involved by non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common histotype category arising in this organ. This is an aggressive lymphoma usually presenting as limited disease, being associated or not to Helicobacter pylori infection. Conservative treatment with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, followed or not by involved-field radiotherapy has replaced gastrectomy as standard approach against this malignancy.
