Core Tip	This review provides an overview regarding the initial diagnostic workup of gastrointestinal follicular lymphoma. Previously reported case reports, case series, and retrospective studies are reviewed, and focus on the disease’s endoscopic and histological features, the roles of computed tomography and positron emission tomography scanning, the clinical utility of the soluble interleukin-2 receptor, and the possible pathogenesis. Although there is no doubt that endoscopic examinations play a major role in the diagnosis of this disease, gastroenterologists should also keep in mind that follicular lymphoma patients with gastrointestinal involvement must be investigated according to the general guidelines for systemic follicular lymphoma.
