A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with a submucosal primary gastric T-cell lymphoma (PGTL) via upper gastroenteroscopy following an annual health check-up. He received six cycles of CHOP and achieved a complete remission. However, the patient relapsed 4 months post therapy. A second remission, which was maintained for years, was achieved after surgical gastrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapies. Prior reports have shown that surgery combined with chemotherapies was curative for patients with newly-diagnosed PGTL. In this report, surgery combined with chemotherapies was successfully applied for early-relapsed PGTL.
