Case report :
Gashic pseudolymphoma concomitant with intestinal giardia lamblia infestation

Gastric pseudolymphoma is a extremely rare nonneoplastic inflummatuar condition which may simulate a gastric malign lesion, and the factors that are responsible for this process are not known. On the other hand, giardia lamblia is a parasite which involves especially the first part of the small intestine causing noduler lymphoid hyperplasia. Here, we report the first case of gastric pseudolymphoma concomitant with intestinal giardia lamblia infestation which may be responsible for this condition.

Keywords : Gastrik Pseudolenfoma, intestinal giardiasis.
