Primary intestinal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (nasal-type) and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, type II, are CD56-positive lymphoproliferative disorders with very poor survival rates. We report a long-surviving patient with a CD56-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) frequently involves the gastrointestinal tract, but the endoscopic characteristics of this condition have not been discussed in detail. We report two cases of EBV-related PTLD involving rapidly forming
