- Abstract
Colorectal lymphoma (CRL) commonly affects males from age 50 to 70,[1] and is associated with inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease and immunosuppression.[2] Primary rectal lymphoma (PRL) is rare and accounts for 0.05% of all primary rectal malignancies.[3] It is a form of extranodal lymphoma originating from solid organs. The patient received systemic chemotherapy and had excellent metabolic response in the rectum, with complete resolution of the liver and bony lesions (Fig. While the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the most common site of extranodal lymphoma, lymphoma of the colon and rectum account for less than 10% of all GI lymphomas.[1] We present a rare case of PRL in a patient who presented with symptoms suspicious of a primary rectal cancer.
