Rectal Lymphoma: Report of a Rare Case and Review of Literature
2014
Colorectal lymphoma is an extremely rare disease, representing less than 0.5% of all primary colorectal neoplasms. The disease is usually diagnosed in the advanced stages because of its primary non- specific symptoms. The most common involved site is cecum followed by rectum and ascending colon. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a more frequent subtype. Although surgical resection is often technically feasible, optimal therapy for a colorectal lymphoma, especially rectal lymphoma, has not yet been identified. The authors describe a patient with the primary rectal lymphoma, high-grade features and complete response to chemotherapy.
