Primary Colon Lymphoma Presenting with Obstructive and Hemorrhagic Symptoms
Journal Title: Türk Kolon ve Rektum Hastalıkları Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
Colorectal lymphomas comprise less than 1% of colorectal malignancies and 1% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Colonic lymphomas are usually diagnosed after surgical resection performed due to complications. Herein we present the management of a rare case of non-Hodgkin ascending colon lymphoma in a 57-year-old female patient with obstructive and hemorrhagic symptoms. Although surgery treats the complications, non-surgical therapies (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) are the mainstays of treatment for lymphoma, and surgery is not considered a priority for lymphoma treatment.
