Abstract:
It is rare that colon carcinoma and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) occur one after another in intestines. We found two malignancies of sigmoid carcinoma and MCL in a single patient, who had initially been diagnosed with sigmoid carcinoma and treated with radical resection in our hospital. Good postoperative recovery was reported without recurrence signs, which lasted for 7 years and 5 months until polyps of sigmoid colon were found by colonoscopy. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry revealed MCL, but the patient refused treatment. One year later, MCL was diagnosed again in the transverse colon. The patient is currently under observation and has not received treatment for MCL.

Anatomy of the Intestines
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Small Intestine
The small intestine is divided into three main sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum, approximately 25 cm long, is nearest the stomach. It acts as a 'mixing bowl,' where chyme (partially digested food) blends with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver. The duodenum's unique...
Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
Histology of the Large Intestine
The innermost mucosa layer comprises simple columnar epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. This layer is primarily populated with absorptive cells, tasked with water absorption, and goblet cells, responsible for secreting mucus to...
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
