Abstract:
High-grade Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are very aggressive type of malignancies. We report a high grade small B-cell (Burkitt's like) Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that initially was considered and treated as ulcerative colitis without improvement or resolution of symptoms for nine months. The clinical presentation of 30 lb weight loss, diarrhea and dyspaurenia as complications of the developing and rapid growth of the mass were highly suggestive of malignancy. Acute lesions of ulcerative colitis begin at the anal verge and involve only the mucosa and submucosa. When induration of the perirectal areas develop a different pathology should be suspected.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
