Abstract

Abstract : Due to advances in double‐balloon endoscopy, various types of malignant lymphoma of the small intestine have been observed at very early stages. We report here that after remission of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma recurred in the mucosa of the small intestine. Furthermore, these lesions were diagnosed by biopsy from normal mucosa as diminutive erosions and reddish looking. If a small intestinal lesion is suspected of being a malignant lymphoma, a double‐balloon endoscopy should be carried out, and a biopsy should be taken and inspected.
