ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment on primary gastric lymphoma. MethodsThirtyseven patients, proved by pathology, were included in the study. ResultsAmong clinical presentation, the upper abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, and weight loss were common. Only 4 cases were diagnosed as PGL in 33 cases with the examination of Xray barium meal, 88.5% ( 23 of 26 cases) were missdiagnosed as gastric ulcer under gastroscopy. All cases underwent operation, among them 33 had been performed a radical operation. The survival period was over 5 years in 12 of 25 patients who have been followed up. ConclusionThe multiple biopsy sampling from submucosal layer via gastroscope may improve diagnostic rate on primary gastric lymphoma. Operative removal of the tumor should be the first choice of treatment. Additional chemotherapy after the surgery increases the fiveyear survival rate.
