Abstract
Collision tumors of the stomach are rare tumors, with about 32 cases reported in the English and German literature. In this report the case of a 65-year-old male with a synchronous primary malignant lymphoma (immunocytoma) and an early cancer of the stomach is presented. A total gastrectomy with esophago-jejunostomy was performed. Postoperatively the affected region was irradiated. 30 months later a re-evaluation did not reveal any recurrence of the disease. The diagnostic and therapeutic problems of collision tumors of the stomach and a possible relationship between the two tumors are discussed against the background of the literature.
