“…Kakimoto et al[25] reported a case of refractory ulcerative colitis presenting with colonic submucosal tumors histopathologically diagnosed as ENKTL. Valbuena et al[26] reported a case of a male who underwent rectal resection for clinical suspicion of carcinoma. After histopathologic examination, it was diagnosed as classical Hodgkin lymphoma (nodular sclerosis type) involving the rectum.…”

BACKGROUND Extranodal natural killer (NK) T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type is a rare subtype of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by vascular damage and necrosis. The lesions usually present in the nasal cavity and adjacent tissues, however, the disease originates from the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract in 25% of cases. Since rectal involvement in ENKTL is rare, rectal symptoms in the course of ENKTL are often misdiagnosed and considered to be related to benign diseases such as rectal fistula or perianal abscess. CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 24-year-old Han Chinese female who initially presented with a perianal abscess that was subsequently diagnosed as nasal type ENKTL. Due to typical perianal pain, perianal abscess was diagnosed and surgical incision and drainage were performed. After recurrent, severe anal hemorrhages leading to hypovolemic shock and multiple surgeries, a diagnosis of ENKTL was made. The patient’s condition gradually deteriorated, and she died shortly after initiation of chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Systemic and neoplastic diseases should be included in the differential diagnosis of any potentially benign perianal abscess complicated with recurrent hemorrhages.

“…All of them had CHL features, four of them presenting in stage IV. Valbuenna et al [7] identified 12 cases of primary HL of the rectum in immunocompetent persons from the literature. Only one out of these 12 persons were tested positive for EBV and only two had confirmation of the diagnosis by immunohistochemistry.…”

Background: Hodgkin lymphoma involving rectum as primary lesion is very rare. Incidence rates of Hodgkin lymphoma have increased by 7-8 times in HIV patients when compared with the general population. The incidence has increased in the era of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). Only five cases of primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the rectum are reported in the literature. Case Report: We are presenting a case of primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the rectum in a HIV infected patient on HAART. Conclusion: Hodgkin lymphoma involving the rectum as a primary lesion is very rare and in HIV infected patients is much rarer. Hodgkin lymphoma should be kept in mind in an anorectal growth in HIV patients.

“…Numerous authors described cases of primary extra-nodal HL, but many of these appeared to have concurrent and/or subsequent nodal involvement. Few cases of primary pulmonary Hodgkin disease with no hilar or mediastinal node disease,4 – 8 primary involvement of different organs of the gastrointestinal tract,12 – 16 of the parotid10 , 11 and the thyroid17 , 18 glands have been described. Others locations such as the central nervous system,19 , 20 testicles21 or kidneys22 have been reported.…”

“…Primary extra-nodal HL without lymph node involvement is rare 2 , 3. Several primary cases have been described in different sites such as lungs,4 – 8 oral mucosa,9 salivary glands,10 , 11 oesophagus,12 stomach,13 rectum,14 – 16 thyroid gland,17 , 18 central nervous system,19 , 20 testicles21 and kidneys 22. Most primary Hodgkin cases reported previously are in fact secondary cases in a context of systemic Hodgkin’s disease.…”

Hodgkin lymphoma typically presents as a nodal lesion and infrequently involves extra nodal sites. Although cases of primary extra-nodal Hodgkin lymphoma have been reported previously, the reality of the primitive nature of the disease was difficult to authenticate with traditional high resolution imaging techniques, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, because they cannot evaluate the spread of the disease throughout the whole body. We report here a case of primary osseous Hodgkin lymphoma, regarded as stage I extranodal IE thanks to the important contribution of a new imaging technique, the 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT). PET enables systemic Hodgkin lymphoma with secondary bone invasion to be distinguished from primitive osseous Hodgkin lymphoma. This technique is highly specific in demonstrating the isolated osseous localisation of the tumour and should be recommended in all patients with putative osseous lymphoma.
