 The case is that of a 49-year-old female who showed a depressed lesion of the gastric antrum on the posterior wall associated with marginal elevation on the initial roentgenographic examination. The depressed area was also nodulated. No redness or bleeding was present on the endoscopic examination. Malignant lymphoma was clinically considered. Endoscopic biopsy disclosed hyperplasia of the lymphoreticular cells in the tissue, but no definitive malignancy was ascertained.

 The second roentgenography performed 60 days later revealed a depressed lesion with mucosal convergence running from the lesser curvature of the antrum. Taper folds at the apices were observed. Endoscopy at that time demonstrated a depressed lesion with white coating and edematous margin. Histology of the second biopsy resembled that of first one.

 Roentgenographic and endoscopic findings were very different between the first and the second examinations. Because of few findings suggesting a benignity and of histologically non-epithelial lesion, subsequent gastrectomy was performed under a clinical diagnosis of malignant lymphoma.

 An ulcer scar was grossly found in the stomach resected 96 days after the first roentgenography. Histopathology disclosed only an ulcer-scar (Ul-Ⅱ) but no evidence of lymphoreticular hyperplasia as seen in the biopsies.

 Cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) have been clinically diagnosed as cancer on many occasions in the review of literature. Histological diagnosis of RLH is not always easy. Proliferation of lymphoreticular cells may be secondary to benign ulcer, inflammatory lesion, even to carcinoma or sarcoma, and it is not concluded that it represents an entity.

 For clinical diagnosis of RLH, careful follow-up observations are indicated. By the establishment of diagnostic criteria for gastric reticulum cell sarcoma of early stage, clinical diagnosis of RLH may become possible to some extent.
