Summary
Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a rare, high-mortality intestinal cancer. Surgical excision proved effective for a large MEITL mass, highlighting surgery
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a rare intestinal lymphoma with a high mortality rate.
- Its intestinal location presents diagnostic and management challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a case of MEITL diagnosed and managed surgically.
- To discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of MEITL.
Main Methods:
- A case report of a 59-year-old male with a large right iliac fossa mass.
- Surgical excision followed by pathological examination.
- Immune-histochemical analysis revealing a CD30 positive profile.
Main Results:
- Pathological examination confirmed MEITL.
- The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the mass.
Conclusions:
- MEITL is a rare entity with challenging diagnosis and variable immune-histochemical profiles.
- Surgical intervention may be indicated for intestinal lymphoma in the absence of clear management guidelines.

829
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
