Abstrak

Extra nodal site of non–Hodgkin’s lymphoma is mostly in the gastrointestinal tract. Large intestine is rarely affected compared with stomach or small bowel. The colon is affected in 0.4% of cases approximately. High index of suspicion is required to establish the diagnosis, since there may be no specific signs. Here we report a case of a 28-year-old male, who presented with diarrhea , abdominal pain and weight loss of 2-month duration and diagnosed as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of the cecum as B-cell lymphoma, unclassified (BCLU) according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
