Abstract

A case of Peripheral T Cell Lymphomas (PTCL) of stomach presenting as a primary gastric neoplasm was presented. The morphology of this rare primary gastric malignancy was very characteristic and the response to the treatment was excellent. Investigations suggested that the present case belongs to a generic, heterogeneous group of lymphomas designated as “Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma”. This case represented a primary gastric Peripheral T lymphoma with multilobed nuclei. It suggested that the importance of recognizing the PTCL may contain Reed Sternberg type cells. As the tumor contains Reed Sternberg resembling cells, it must be distinguished from primary gastric Hodgkin‟s disease, which is much rarer.
