The proportion of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) is higher in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the most common primary site of extra-nodal lymphomas. Endoscopically, the diagnosis of gastric lymphoma is challenging and there are a wide range of endoscopic findings. We report a case of a secondary gastrointestinal lymphoma in an HIV-patient.
