Synchronous adenocarcinoma and extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma of the colon: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is rare in the colon. Synchronous adenocarcinoma and ENKTL of the colon has not been reported in the literature. In the present study, we report a 63-year-old male who suffered from intermittent bloody stools for 2 mo. He did not have fever, body weight loss or night sweat. Endoscopic and imaging studies revealed a 4.5-cm ulcerative mass in the ascending colon and a 3.0-cm polypoid, easy bleeding mass in the s… Show more

“…ENKTL-NT occurs primarily in the nasal cavity, and colonic primary cases are even rarer. A MEDLINE search revealed 9 unique cases of colonic primary ENKTL-NT-NT (Table 1) (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) (including the case reported here). In this case report, although the patient was eventually diagnosed with ENKTL-NT, the presenting symptoms were unusual.…”

“…The etiology is often unclear, and there is no standard treatment strategy. As histopathological subtypes of malignant lymphoma with colorectal cancer synchronously, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) ( 5 ), mantle cell lymphoma ( 6 ), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma ( 7 ), and extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma ( 8 ) have been reported previously. More recently, it has also been reported in FL ( 9 , 10 ).…”

“…2 These entities have mostly been reported as case reports, or small case series with very few large studies done. 3-12 They can combine any type of lymphoma or leukemia with a non-hematological neoplasm of any solid organ including skin, all parts of the gastrointestinal tract, brain, lung, kidney, prostate, breast, and so on, and the non-hematological solid organ neoplasm may be a carcinoma or sarcoma. 3-12…”
