Pyloric syndrome is a set of symptoms and signs that are produced by a total or partial obstruction of the pyloric region that results in difficulty in gastric emptying and the consequent retention of its contents. This patient presented with late postpandrial vomiting and diffuse abdominal pain after ingesting solid food. After one month of these symptoms, vomiting was even caused by the intake of liquids, accompanied by asthenia, anorexia and weight loss. He is treated in the surgery service of Dr. “Ernesto Guevara de la Serna” Hospital. An endoscopy was performed which observed complete pyloric obstruction without precise aetiology. Exploratory laparotomy found gastric dilatation with edema and hardening of the pyloric antrum, multiple tumors and hardening of a segment of the jejunum-ion junction. Antrectomy was performed with gastrojejunostomy and Brown, with resection of 60 cm of small intestine, which included the tumors found. The histological diagnosis was well-differentiated Lymphocytic Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
