Intestinal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: A Multicenter Prospective Clinical Study From the German Study Group on Intestinal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Abstract

IBCL patients at stages EI and EII respond well to chemotherapy, but the prognosis and treatment of ITCL patients is unsatisfactory.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma revealed by an ilio-colic intussusception in a Moroccan patient: a case report

“…Acute surgical conditions, such as perforation, bleeding and obstruction especially intussusseption -which is the case of our patient-are initial complications which can be the revealing mode of the small bowel lymphomas. These initial complications occurred up to 70% of cases in recent prospective studies; the predominant complications in patients with B-Cell NHL and T-Cell NHL were intestinal obstruction and perforation, respectively [1].…”

“…Intestinal T-cell non Hodgkin's lymphomas (T-Cell NHL) have been described as often multifocal and most frequently localized in the jejunum or proximal ileum. Many cases of association of intestinal T-Cell NHL to the celiac disease have been reported [1]. The primary follicular lymphoma of the small intestine is a distinct entity that originates from local antigenresponsive B cells whereas little is known about the pathogenesis of primary small bowel lymphoma.…”

“…Diarrhea and fever are present in approximately one third of patients with T-Cell NHL but are rare in patients with B-Cell NHL [1].…”

“…Authors present an unusual case of intestinal intussusception due to a primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of B-cell of the terminal part of ileum. The primary ileal localization of NHL is rare, it occurs 23 to 30% of gastrointestinal lymphomas and approximately 5% of peripheral NHL [1]. It differs from gastric lymphomas in clinical features, treatment, and prognosis.…”

Autoimmune Disorders and Lymphomas

“…The occurrence of an EATL is the main cause of death in RCD patient. About 50-60% of patients with RCD type II develop an EATL within 5 years (Al-Toma et al, 2007, Di Sabatino & Corazza, 2009, Daum et al, 2003. Despite the strong association between CD and EATL, the majority of lymphomas associated with CD are of different histologies, such as DLBCL and peripheral T cell lymphomas (Catassi et al, 2002, Mearin et al, 2006, Halfdanarson et al, 2010.…”
