OBJECTIVE Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and its incidence is 0.5/100,000 inhabitants. Gastrointestinal involvement at diagnosis is 15-30%. The aim of our study was to analyze the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of mantle cell lymphoma affecting the digestive tract. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted, based on a case series of patients with mantle cell lymphoma affecting the gastrointestinal tract that were diagnosed over a 10-year period. RESULTS Ten patients (11.7%) had gastrointestinal tract involvement. The upper endoscopic findings were polypoid lesions (66%), thickened folds (44%), and nonspecific changes in the mucosa (33%). At colonoscopy, polypoid lesions were viewed in 100% of the patients and ulcerated lesions in 40%. CONCLUSIONS Polypoid lesions are the most common endoscopic characteristics in patients with mantle cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy should be carried out on patients with mantle cell lymphoma, even those with nonspecific symptoms, to check their gastrointestinal status. Gastrointestinal involvement has an impact on disease staging.
