Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary colorectal lymphoma is an uncommon malignancy with rising incidence.
  • Accurate differentiation from secondary involvement is crucial for patient prognosis and treatment.
  • Histological confirmation is the gold standard for diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A case of primary lymphoma in the cecum presented with non-specific symptoms of abdominal distension and early satiety.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via colonoscopy and biopsy.
  • The patient had no lymph node involvement and was a candidate for complete surgical resection.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical resection of the cecal lymphoma was achieved with clear margins.
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy was deemed unnecessary due to factors including tumor size and resectability.

  • One-year follow-up confirmed the patient remains disease-free.

    • Implications:

    • This case supports surgical resection as a primary treatment for localized primary colorectal lymphoma.
    • It suggests that adjuvant chemotherapy may not be required in select cases.
    • Further research is needed to define the optimal management strategies for colorectal lymphoma.
