Rare malignant ulcer related to primary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A case report

We present a case of a 57-year-old male diagnosed in the Gastroenterology Department, which presented a bleeding duodenal ulcer with irregular borders. Diagnoses: The immunohistochemical staining showed: CD20(+++), CD10(+) and Ki-67>40%. Interventions: The patient was successfully treated by Poly-chemotherapy with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vindesine and prednisolone). Outcomes: After 6 courses of chemotherapy treatment, the duodenal ulcer was completely healed by reviewing the UGIE. Lessons: Our report might give further strength to avoiding the erroneous and missed diagnosis for PI-DLBCL which is different from common duodenal ulcer.
