Abstract:
Two cases of colorectal lymphoma are presented. Preoperative histologic diagnosis is difficult and examination of the fresh specimen using immunocytochemical and gene rearrangement techniques are necessary to establish the precise nature of the lesion. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment for localized lymphoma of the colorectum and chemotherapy for malignant lymphomatous polyposis.
