Diffuse Large BCell Lymphoma of the Jejunum in A NonHIV Patient A Rare Occurrence: Case Report

Dr. Sohil R. Cyclewala

Abstract :

 Primary gastrointestinal (GI) lymphomas constitute less than 8 % per cent of total gut neoplasms. Most of them are Non–Hodgkin’s type of Lymphomas. Among the Extra–nodal tissues Gastro–intestinal tract is the most common site followed by Head and Neck region, Central nervous system, Thorax, Spleen, Adrenal glands, Uro–genital tract, skin and Bone. The stomach is the most common location of GI lymphomas; followed by the small intestine and large intestine. Although gastrointestinal tract is the most common extra–nodal site yet jejunum involvement is rarest. It has low incidence but favorable outcome. Histologically, B–cell lymphomas are by far the most frequent type found in this location, gastrointestinal lymphomas are a diverse group of neoplasms, many of which are characterized by distinctive clinico– pathological settings. Diffuse large B–cell lymphoma and marginal–zone lymphoma of mucosaassociated lymphoid tissue are commonly encountered, but other less common entities can pose diagnostic challenges, mimicking reactive, benign and malignant conditions. Ultrasound (US) is often the first imaging modality used in patients with vague abdominal symptoms and can detect several patterns of involvement in cases of lymphoma. Computerized tomography (CT) is valuable for the staging of the disease. We report a rare case of a 60 year old gentleman who presented with colicky abdominal pain, vomiting, and loss of weight was diagnosed as a case of jejunum lymphoma on histopathology
