Core Tip

Core Tip: Gastrointestinal lymphoma is an extranodal malignancy primarily arising in the stomach, small intestine, or colorectum, most commonly presenting as B-cell lymphoma. In contrast, primary T-cell lymphomas of the stomach are exceedingly rare, particularly within the spectrum of T-cell lymphoma subtypes. Among these, gastric peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) is extremely rare. In this report, we present a rare case of a 63-year-old male diagnosed with gastric PTCL-NOS, along with a detailed examination of the clinicopathological features.
