ABSTRACT

Small bowel lymphoma is a rare disease with nonspecific presentation. Intestinal T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, is an aggressive lymphoma type with a poor prognosis and may be widespread upon presentation. We report a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a small bowel tumor. Small bowel resection with primary anastomosis was performed. We highlighted the importance of high clinical suspicion when diagnosing such disease and tumor aggressiveness.
