Primary gastric lymphoma (lymphoma that originates in the stomach itself)[1] is an uncommon condition, accounting for less than 15% of gastric malignancies and about 2% of all lymphomas. However, the stomach is a very common extranodal site for lymphomas (lymphomas originate elsewhere and metastasise to the stomach).[2] It is also the most common source of lymphomas in the gastrointestinal tract.[3]
