J Clin Gastroenterol. 1996 Oct;23(3):203-6. doi: 10.1097/00004836-199610000-00009.

Abstract

Primary esophageal lymphoma is very rare. We report a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving the lower one-third of the esophagus. Presenting with dysphagia, he was treated successfully by transhiatal esophagectomy along with combination chemotherapy. We review the relevant literature.
