Malignant lymphoma in ulcerative colitis. Report of a case
1Department of Surgery, Luton and Dunstable Hospital, Beds, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
The authors present the case of a 40-year-old woman with primary malignant lymphoma complicating chronic ulcerative colitis. Twenty-one cases reported in the literature are reviewed and the various available data analyzed. Variations in the distribution of lymphoma in both the normal and colitic bowel supports a relationship between both conditions. Any lymphocytic infiltrate seen in biopsies obtained from ulcerative colitis should be assessed to exclude associated lymphoma. The prognosis is poor.

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...
