Abstract

We describe a case of primary follicular lymphoma of duodenum (PFL-D) discovered during Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in a patient with an unremarkable past medical history, where Histo-pathology and Immunohisto-chemical staining all were consistent with follicular lymphoma of duodenum.  Patient was referred to a hematologist-oncologist for further evaluation and management. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the rarest cases reported in English literature of (PFL-D) that present with both the nodular lesions and the erosions together.
