Abstract:
A 32-year-old man was referred to us for further therapy of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. He had suffered from abdominal pain due to perforation of small intestine 1 month ago and had received partial small bowel resection. Pathological examination of tissue obtained by means of partial small bowel resection indicated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Abdominal CT showed prominent diffuse small intestinal wall thickening and lumen stenosis (blue arrows). Multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes were also demonstrated. The abdominal cavity volume was relatively full with bladder compression. The patient underwent rituximab chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Repeat abdominal CT 5 months later showed marked improvement, with position of bilateral abdominal wall and bladder returned to normal. He was feeling well at 6 months of follow-up.

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...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
