PRIMARY B CELL LYMPHOMA OF JEJUNUM - A RARE CASE REPORT

BANUREKHA .

Abstract


Abstract : Gastrointestinal lymphoma is a relatively rare  tumor representing 0.9 percent of all primary GI malignant neoplasms. It is the most common form of extra nodal                   lymphoma.(1) Lymphoma presents with nonspecific                  abdominal pain in 70-80 percent of cases and weight loss in 30 percent. Lymphadenopathy, Pulmonary hilar adenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly, all classic for disseminated                lymphoma are usually absent in intestinal lymphoma. An abdominal mass may be palpable in 40-60 percent of                 patients. Other presentations may include perforation (up to 25 percent), obstruction, or intussusception.(2)Presenting an interesting and rare case of Primary B cell Lymphoma of       Jejunum who presented with Intestinal Perforation.
