Primary anorectal lymphoma: Cytomegalovirus colitis case

Abstract

Primary anorectal lymphoma is a rare presentation of gastrointestinal lymphomas. Its clinical presentation is indistinguishable from that of anorectal carcinoma. Here, we report a case of primary anorectal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (anaplastic large cell lymphoma) that was treated completely by standard chemotherapy. In addition, cytomegalovirus colitis was diagnosed and treated successfully during the immunosuppression phase.
