ABSTRACT
A 63-year-old woman presented with dyspepsia de novo. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a 30 mm flat yellowish esophageal lesion, 28 cm from the incisors (Fig. 1a), with the stomach and duodenum without any lesion. Helicobacter pylori infection was excluded. Histological examination was suggestive of a lymphoproliferative process (Fig. 1b). Immunohistochemistry showed diffuse positivity for CD20 (Fig. 1c) and BCL-2 (Fig. 1d), dim CD10 and BCL-6 staining, a Ki-67 of 20-25%, no CD21 or cyclin D1 expression, all these features compatible with low-grade follicular lymphoma. Physical examination was unremarkable. Computed tomography of the neck, chest, and abdomen revealed no lymph node enlargement, hepatosplenomegaly or metastasis. Blood routine tests and tumor markers were at normal levels. Bone marrow biopsy showed no involvement by lymphoma. Therefore, a diagnosis of primary follicular lymphoma of the esophagus was made. The patient opted for a watch-and-wait strategy and there is no evidence of disease progression after four years of follow-up.(AU)
