Hematological Malignancies causing intestinal obstruction-Rare cases
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Hematological malignancies arise from bone marrow derived cells. They can be broadly classified as those of myeloid cell lines, neoplasm of lymphoid cell lines, lymphoproliferative disorders and Histolytic/Dendritic cell neoplasm. Hematological malignancies presenting with intestinal obstruction are rare. Only a few cases have been reported worldwide. We report two rare cases of hematological malignancies presenting with intestinal obstruction. A 55-year-old female, a case of secondary extra medullary plasmacytoma presented with obstruction due to small bowel intussusception and a 56-year-old male, presented with intestinal obstruction due to primary Non Hodgkin's lymphoma of the small bowel.
