“…Regarding the location of small intestine lymphomas specifically, they account for up to 40% of primary GI lymphomas and 25% of primary malignancies at this level. The small intestine is a common extra-nodular site of lymphoma, which is a systemic illness [6]. The ileum and cecum in the intestine are the most affected areas, likely as a result of the plentiful lymphoid tissue there.…”

The body has mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), with the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract having the greatest amount of it. Lymphoma may form when the cell growth in this tissue is aberrant. The small intestine is a common extranodular site of lymphoma, which is a systemic illness. Additionally, it has been proposed that MALT lymphomas (MALTomas) arise as a result of chronic and persistent immunological activation, whether of an autoimmune or infectious type. MALT lymphomas that develop in the duodenum are typically thought to be unrelated to Helicobacter pylori infection. However, some examples show that lymphoma regressed when H. pylori was removed.

“…Malignant lymphoma is rare and comprises 1–4% of the malignant gastrointestinal neoplasms [ 1 ]. The lymphomas can be divided in Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin, the last type being classified in B cell or T cell lymphomas [ 2 ]. The lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract mainly affect the stomach followed by the small intestine, pharynx, colon and esophagus.…”

HighlightsPrimary lymphomas of appendix are extremely rare tumors. The incidence is 0.015% of all gastrointestinal lymphomas.The neoplasms of appendix usually manifest clinically with sign and symptoms of acute appendicitis.Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and often occurs through histopathological examination, so it is mandatory for all appendectomies.There are no clear guidelines for therapy. Primary surgical resection followed by post-operative chemotherapy showed high efficacy.

Background/Objective: Marginal zone lymphoma can be accompanied by symptoms of small intestinal disease including abdominal pain and malabsorption. However, the best diagnostic approach for suspected marginal zone lymphoma is unknown and intestinal biopsies are frequently negative. We describe the case of a patient with symptoms of small bowel involvement where marginal zone lymphoma could only be detected upon peripheral lymph node resection. To assess the clinical variability of intestinal marginal zone lymphoma as a rare clinical entity, a scoping review with systematic literature research was performed.Case Description/Methods: A 57-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of postprandial abdominal pain, systemic inflammation and recent weight loss. Endoscopies and a surgical small bowel specimen revealed non-specific findings. Flow cytometry from the bone marrow was highly suspicious for marginal zone lymphoma. A 2-18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-18 F-FDG-PET/CT) showed hypermetabolic lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm.Cervical lymph node dissection finally confirmed marginal zone lymphoma. Immunochemotherapy yielded lasting oncological remission and resolved symptoms. We searched PubMed, Embase and Ovid MEDLINE ® for additional case reports limited to the last 25 years. Five primary search terms combined using "AND" were used freely and as controlled vocabulary. Additional studies were identified by reviewing the reference lists of included articles.
