Primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of the rectum

Abstract

Rectum is a rare site of primary gastrointestinal lymphomas. Primary lymphomas of rectal origin have similar clinical features and treatment modalities with the other sites of gastrointestinal tract with some technical and reconstructive exceptions. We report herein a case of a 66 years old man with primary non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, who presented with bowel obstruction signs and to whom a low anterior resection was performed.
