Abstract

Primary appendiceal lymphomas (PAL) are a type of primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PGINHL) with an incidence of <1%. There is considerable discordance with regard to the optimal management of PGINHL. We describe two cases of PAL, perform a literature review, and discuss the available evidence for optimal treatment.
