Abstract

Aims: Mantle cell lymphoma is a mature B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma which may be presented with the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract as multiple lymphomatous polyposis. The aim of this case report is to increase the awareness of including lymphomatoid polyposis as an entity in the differential diagnosis of multiple polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract. Case Report: A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to the Trakya University Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain. His cli-nical findings were anorexia that started 3-4 months ago together with constipation and nausea causing him to lose 10-15 kg in 7-8 months, with denial of other parameters of B-symptoms (fevers and night sweats). Endoscopic biopsies that were taken from bulbus and duodenum were investigated and he was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. The patient went through an ileoce-cal resection due to his intussusception that caused abdominal pain in the first place. Conclusion: Although being an infrequent disease, gastrointestinal lymphomatoid polyposis should be an entity comprised in differential diagnosis for multiple polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract. On the other hand, there is still not a therapeutic protocol with a definitive cure for gastrointestinal tract mantle cell lymphoma. Elderly patients in high risk group such as our patient should be given treatment by taking their conditions into consideration. Keywords: Mantle cell lymphoma, polyp, non-Hodgkin lymphoma
