Abstract
Multiple lymphomatous polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract may be mistaken clinically for ulcerative colitis and, radiologically, the condition needs to be distinguished from ulcerative colitis and from familial polyposis coli. Pathologically, the submucosal lymphoid lesions must be differentiated from those of benign lymphoid hyperplasia and recognized as a reticulosis, any type of which may be found. The patient's condition improved considerably following treatment with chlorambucil, and he is well and back at work 18 months after his first presentation.
