Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma, a rare condition, can manifest as multiple polyposis. This case highlights chemotherapy

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is a rare malignancy, accounting for about 5% of lymphoid cancers.
  • Intestinal lymphomas uncommonly present as multiple polyposis.

Observation:

  • This report details a patient with primary intestinal lymphoma presenting as multiple polyposis.
  • The patient was treated with chemotherapy.

Findings:

  • Surgery is the preferred treatment for resectable gastrointestinal lymphoma.
  • Chemotherapy is indicated as an adjunct for high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma or for patients ineligible for curative surgery.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the rare presentation of gastrointestinal lymphoma as multiple polyposis.
