Abstract
|
|
|
|
The accurate diagnosis and localization of gastrointestinal bleeding may use many tests and procedures including serial hematocrits, angiography, scintigraphy, endoscopy, nasogastric aspiration, barium studies and surgery before success is achieved. However, lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is difficult to localize despite above diagnostic procedures. We had experienced a case of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of jejunum. In this case, a 61-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with recurrent lower GI bleeding. The cause of recurrent lower GI bleeding was not defined by extensive evaluation including gastrofiberoscopy, colonoscopy, mesenteric angiography, small bowel series. We diagnosed this case as low grade B cell MALT lymphoma after exploratory laparatomy due to bowel perforation.
