ABSTRACT

Primary lymphomas of the colon (PLC) are infrequent neoplasias of the gastrointestinal tract; their incidence is 0.2 a 0.5% among all primary colon neoplasias. They appear mostly in adulthood. The most frequent variety is non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is an infrequent presentation of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the colon. The most frequent site of development is the stomach, followed by the small intestine and in third place, the colon. In the colon, the most compromised sites are the cecum and rectum. The treatment of choice of primary lymphomas of the colon is surgical, with adjuvant chemotherapy and in some cases, radiation therapy. We herein report the case of a 62-year old male referred to our outpatient clinic with a three-month history of asthenia, fatigue, hyporexia and lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis of B-cell primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the colon was established, presenting as diffuse lymphomatous polyposis of the ascending colon. The patient was successfully treated surgically followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
