“A 74-year-old man attended our gastroenterology outpatient clinic with hipogastric aching pain for the past 5 years associated with recent worsening of chronic constipation. Physical examination as well as abdomino-pelvic ultrasound and colonoscopy was unremarkable. Anti-antispasmodics and dietary measures did not improve the clinical condition. For this reason, see more we performed an abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan which showed thickening of the terminal ileum. The patient repeated colonoscopy with ileoscopy and regular hogback in the terminal ileum was observed that could not be overcome, lined by normal mucosa. It was biopsed, but histologic examination was normal. The entero-resonance was suggestive of nonspecific mesenteritis,

but did not reveal changes in small bowel. Serologies to Crohn’s disease and celiac disease were negative. A video capsule enteroscopy was performed which revealed diffuse pattern of linfagiectasia and segmental pseudopolypoid whitish areas in jejunum and ileum (Fig. 1). Through push enteroscopy (Fig. 2) with a pediatric colonoscope, biopsies of proximal jejunum were taken. Microscopic examination demonstrated neoplastic proliferation of lymphoid tissue with follicular pattern (Fig. 3). The tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD10, BCL2, BCL6 and negative for CD3, CD5, CD23, and 5 blasts per high power field were observed. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of follicular Elongation factor 2 kinase lymphoma grade 1 was established. After performing thoraco-abdomino-pelvic

CT scan and osteomedullar biopsy, the disease was classified at stage II2 (Lugano classification). He was referred to the Hematology Department, who adopted the “watch and wait” strategy. He is now in the sixth month of surveillance, without clinical worsening. Primary extranodal follicular lymphoma (FL) is uncommon, constituting less than 7% of GI tract lymphomas.1 The most common site in the small intestine is the duodenum followed by the ileum.2 FL of the gastrointestinal tract most frequently occurs in middle-aged adults with a slight female predominance (2:1).3 The clinical presentation of small intestinal lymphoma is non-specific and the patients may have symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.
