Abstract
|
|
|
|
Malignant intestinal lymphoma complicating ulcerative colitis has been reported. Although the association of colorectal cancer with ulcerative colitis is well described, the association of intestinal lymphoma, ulcerative colitis and prior immunosuppression remains unclear. However, it is important to be aware of the possible risk of lymphoma and carcinoma when patients shows unexpected signs of deterioration or when the clinical course of ulcerative colitis is atypical. Substantial biopsies with colonoscopy are required to make an unequivocal diagnosis in such patients. We report the case of non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma in ulcerative colitis with review of the literature.
