ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Primary gastric lymphomas (PGLs) are uncommon tumors, accounting for about 5% of all gastric malignancies.The majority (>95%) are Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), arising from lymphoid tissue of the stomach.PGL represents a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders with varied histological subtypes. It is the second most common gastric malignancy worldwide after gastric adenocarcinoma. CASE REPORT Here we present a case of 48-year-old female patient with complaints of nausea, vomiting, weight loss & abdominal pain for 2 months. Upper GI endoscopy showed an ulcerative lesion involving the pre-pyloric region & lesser curvature, which was further confirmed by CECT abdomen. The biopsy report showed a poorly differentiated neoplasm. CONCLUSION Primary gastric NHLs are not very frequent but still not very rare. The diagnosis of gastric lymphoma can be delayed for many years due to the presence of nonspecific symptoms. Early diagnosis and histopathological subtyping have a significant impact on the prognosis and management of the patient.
