Dysphagia can be caused by various conditions such as diverticula, motor function abnormality, vascular compression, esophagitis, and neoplasm. Primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) rarely initially presents as dysphagia. Most common presentation of DLBCL is abdominal pain, anorexia, and weight loss. Less commonly, ulceration and bleeding may be seen. We present a rare case of patient with DLCBL who presented with Dysphagia. |
