Background:

Primary rectal lymphoma is a rare malignancy.
Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is essential for appropriate management.

Observation:

A case of primary rectal lymphoma is presented.
Histological diagnosis can be difficult pre-operatively.

Findings:

Examination of fresh specimens using immunocytochemical and gene rearrangement techniques is necessary.
These methods help establish the precise nature of the rectal lesion.

Implications:

Surgical excision remains the primary treatment modality for primary rectal lymphoma.
Accurate diagnostic methods improve patient outcomes by enabling timely and effective treatment.
