Colo-enteric fistula associated with diffuse large B cell lymphoma that resulted in gastrointestinal bleeding: A case report and literature review.

Abstract

The most common symptoms of primary gastrointestinal (GI) lymphoma are non-specific, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal pain. The rare acute symptoms include bowel obstruction, intussusception, and perforation. Primary small bowel lymphoma accounts for the smallest proportion of all GI malignancies. We report a case of intestinal lymphoma presenting with bloody stools and anemia.
