Zusammenfassung:Two cases of multiple lymphomatous polyposis (MLP) are presented, involving different segments of the gastrointestinal tract. Both cases display the characteristic clinical and pathologic features of MLP. In addition, we were able to document, for the first time, the endoscopic ultrasonographic findings in this disease.
