Isolated primary oesophageal lymphoma: a rare case report

Primary oesophageal lymphoma is a very rare entity, with few reported cases worldwide. It represents an unusual cause of dysphagia. Primary oesophageal lymphomas that are not associated with an immunocompromised state tend to affect elderly patients. We describe a case of primary oesophageal lymphoma in a 41-year-old immunocompetent male, who presented with history of dysphagia. In our case, there were no manifestations of the disease outside the oesophagus, which is very rare. He was treated with oeophagectomy followed by chemotherapy.
