Gastro-intestinal involvement is a distinctive feature of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. 31 cases are reported among 200 cases on NHL observed between 1960 and 1976. Multiple involvement appeared in 61%; a diffuse histological pattern is frequent (67%). The relapse of primary isolated gastro-intestinal localization (always) affected extra-digestive tissues (nodes, cavum). Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment COP, COAP and MOCA.
