“…However, primary small bowel lymphoma, which is second most common small bowel neoplasm after adenocarcinoma, is relatively rare. [3,4] It has been reported that approximately 20% of all small bowel malignancies are newly diagnosed NHL.…”

“…[4] Research of 7-year period at 3 different centers yielded only 17 patients who underwent surgical intervention with radiological evidence of perforation or intestinal obstruction and were diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma after surgery. Although there are many publications about small intestine lymphoma, PubMed search with keywords "lymphoma, small intestine, ileus" returned only 28 articles, most of which were case reports.…”

“…[3] Some 30% to 50% of patients are admitted to hospital with acute abdominal pain, and 25% of these have GI perforation. [4] Obstruction and perforation are uncommon and life-threatening complications of lymphoma that can occur either at diagnosis or during the treatment course. Occurrence of obstruction or perforation increases mortality rate as result of circumstances such as sepsis, multi-organ failure, prolonged hospitalization, impaired wound healing, and delay of chemotherapy.…”

“…Some authors proposed the so called preventive chemotherapy in patients with stage ⅠE, reaching five year survival of 80% [42] . In cases of indolent lymphomas (mantle cell, follicular cell and T cell lymphomas), complete surgical resection and radiation are recommended because of decreased chemoresponsiveness [43] . The median survival in reported series is generally low.…”

Lymphomas represent common hematological malignancies with increasing incidence in recent years. The major site of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the gastrointestinal tract. Involvement of the large intestine is rare in comparison to the stomach or small bowel. The disease appears later in life, predominantly in the male population. Complaints are nonspecific, requiring a high index of suspicion in order to establish the diagnosis. The treatment varies from chemotherapy alone to multimodal therapies combining surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The small number of patients with various histological subtypes and different stage at presentation results in unclear protocol for the treatment of primary colorectal lymphoma. The purpose of this paper is to review current data on primary lymphoma of the colon and rectum while analyzing reported case series and published material on the subject.

“…Primary gastrointestinal (GI) lymphoma accounts for 4-20% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and 25-40% of extranodal lymphomas [1][2][3]. The incidence of primary GI NHL is 0.8-1.2 per 100,000 persons per year [4].…”
