Two cases of spontaneous regression of histologically diagnosed large cell lymphoma of the stomach are reported. Regressions occurred after nonspecific therapy including the H‐2 antagonist cimetidine and were documented surgically. Spontaneous regression of intermediate and high‐grade non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma is distinctly uncommon. The possible role of cimetidine in these cases is discussed.
