Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common of the indolent lymphomas. On the other hand, FLs occur seldom in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), representing only 1-3% of all GIT B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The most frequent site of involvement is the small intes- tine, particularly the duodenum and terminal ileum, followed by colon (1). In the literature, only one case of the terminal ileum and colonic involvement of follicular lymphoma has been reported (2). Herein, we report a second case of terminal ileum and colon involvement by a follicular small cell lymphoma. |
