The stomach and small intestine are common sites for gut lymphomas, but oesophageal lymphomas are very rare. In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), although multifocal gut involvement is seen, oesophageal involvement is uncommon. Gut involvement may be primary or secondary to systemic involvement. Multiple

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is the underlying cause for 4% of nonvariceal upper GI bleeding. Nodular GAVE and gastric hyperplastic polyps have similar appearance on upper GI endoscopy (EGD) as well as histology, which could delay specific targeted therapy. We herein, through In areas where there is a low prevalence of schistosomiasis mansoni, faecal examination is a relatively insensitive method of detection and infected people may also be missed because most show only mild morbidity. In such settings, serology may be a more useful diagnostic tool than microscopy. In
