Abstract
Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma is a clinical variant of follicular lymphoma located in the intestine, presenting as multiple small polyps. The estimated frequency is 1/7000 people and extraduodenal involvement is rare. It predominantly affects middle-aged women, although some cases of young patients have been published in the literature. They are usually located in the second periampullary portion of the duodenum. It is diagnosed incidentally or after performing an imaging test due to non-specific digestive symptoms (abdominalgia, diarrhea or hyporexia). The prognosis is usually favorable without specific treatment5.
