    Malignant lymphoma, histiocytic type, was unexpectedly discovered in a patient with ulcerative colitis, challenging initial adenocarcinoma diagnoses. This case highlights the importance of thorough pathological examination for gastrointestinal cancers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Long-standing UC increases the risk of colorectal cancer.
    • Gastrointestinal lymphoma is rare, especially in the context of UC.

    Observation:

    • A 72-year-old female with a 30-year history of UC presented with a cecal mass.
    • The mass was initially suspected to be adenocarcinoma.
    • Total proctocolectomy was performed due to the suspected malignancy.

    Findings:

    • Pathologic examination revealed 22 tumors in the colon.
    • All tumors were diagnosed as malignant lymphoma, histiocytic type (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma).
    • This represents a rare occurrence of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma in a UC patient.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for comprehensive histopathological evaluation in UC patients with colonic masses.
    • It expands the differential diagnosis for colonic tumors in inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of lymphoma in UC is warranted.
