Abstract

Primary GI lymphoma is not a very common entity. It constitutes about 1-4% of all Gi malignancies. In contrast to the common extra nodal intestinal lymphoma, intestinal lymphoma of primary origin is obscure. We report an interesting case of 63-year-male presented with a history of significant weight loss associated with bilateral pedal swelling and generalized weakness over 2 months. Colonoscopy revealed a large nodular ulcerated growth in caecum and ascending colon with a deformed IC valve and narrowing which was not passable. Surgical biopsy following exploratory laparotomy with resection and anastomosis was suggestive of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma of colon. As primary GI lymphoma is colon is rare along with simultaneous jejunal lesion , also the presentation with a large right colonic mass without any features of intestinal obstruction, except weight loss and fatigue, we found it to an interesting case to report.
