Lymphoma B small cells of the Jejuno (4 of 10)

A narrowness of the jejuno is displayed in this image as well as the video clip. The development of the lymphoid hyperplasia and subsequently low-grade lymphoma with the possibility of high-grade transformation is a multifactorial process involving both antigenic and host-related factors. The pathogenic role of Helicobacter pylori and gluten has been demonstrated in gastric lymphoma and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma respectively, while environmental factors, especially non-specific bacterial ones, may play a major role in the pathogenesis of alpha-chain disease. The most difficult task in preventing these lymphomas is the recognition of early lesions likely to regress after the removal of the exogenous stimulus.
