Gastrointestinal lymphoma of the bowel is uncommon compared to adenocarcinoma. Signet ring cell lymphoma (SRCL) is a rare variant of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is characterized by clear cytoplasm with displaced nuclei to the periphery giving a signet ring appearance. Small bowel involvement has not been previously reported. We report the rare case of a 78-year-old female who presented with short history of fever, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, mild weight loss with abdominal discomfort and was later diagnosed to have SRCL of the ileum.

“…However, when the etiology comes from the small intestine, morbidity is usually less, given that they are usually younger patients with less comorbidities, as observed in our series. Although there are patients who are at risk and who are elderly (21,22). Therefore, the morbidity rate in our series was 16%, and three patients (25%) were over 70 years, as can be seen in table I.…”

“…The prognosis is usually excellent as most are benign lesions in the context of a young patient, and in which relapse is not frequent (3,(23)(24)(25). However, up to 10% are malignant lesions with a poor prognosis, as in our case of malignant leiomyoblastoma (22,(26)(27)(28).…”

Introduction: lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage (LGIH) is generally self-limiting, and the most frequent etiologies are located at colonic level. The objective here is to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic handling of acute LGIH when its etiology was located in the small intestine.Patients and methods: between 1975 and March 2002, 12 acute cases of LGIH originating in the small intestine were admitted to our service. All consulted the hospital with acute rectorrhage, requiring a transfusion of at least 3 units of concentrated red blood cells. The mean age was 54 ± 21 years, 58% were women, and 83% had experienced previous episodes of LGIH.Results: in eleven cases (92%) an urgent lower and upper endoscopy was performed without locating the source of bleeding. An arteriography was indicated in 7 patients (58%), which located the bleeding origin in 5 of them. In two cases a scintigraphy was performed, showing a Meckel's diverticulum in one patient and a normal image in another. All were operated on; in 8 cases (67%), surgery was urgent; in 9 cases, a tumor was found, and in three additional patients, a case of Meckel's diverticulum was found, with a resection being carried out for all lesions. Histology showed a leiomyoma in 7 cases, a Meckel's diverticulum in 3 cases, a leiomyoblastoma in 1, and an angioma in the remaining case. After a mean follow-up of 132 ± 75 months, the leiomyoblastoma resulted in death, and there was a relapse in the case of angioma, which was successfully embolized with interventional radiology.Conclusions: acute LGIH originating in the small intestine should be considered a possible etiology when digestive endoscopy does not locate the source of bleeding, with arteriography being a useful diagnostic technique for bleeding localization. Surgery is the definitive treatment -it confirms the etiology and rules out the presence of malignancy.

“…Despite comprising a vast majority of the gastrointestinal tract, the small bowel only accounts for approximately 3% of all its neoplasms, with an estimated 10% of these representing benign lesions [3,4]. Adenomas are the most common benign small bowel tumor, but over 40 other types exist, including leiomyomas [5]. A common feature of small bowel tumors is their insidious onset, due to slow growth and non-specific symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss [4,5].…”

Rare Presentation of Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Intestinal Leiomyoma in a Patient with Crohn’s Disease

Case Reports in Surgery

Small bowel obstructions (SBOs) are surgical emergencies that can occur with mechanical blockage of the intestinal lumen. These blockages are most commonly caused by adhesions or hernias, but can also result from intestinal neoplasms. This case report documents the rare occurrence of SBO due to a submucosal leiomyoma. This case was complicated by the patient’s longstanding history of Crohn’s disease, which has a considerable overlap in symptomatology with SBOs. This may have resulted in a delay in the patient’s diagnosis. Leiomyomas should always be considered as a potential, albeit rare, cause of SBO.
