Abstract

A case is reported of malignant lymphoma of the small and large bowel associated with ulcerative colitis. Primary lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively uncommon. The dual association with colitis is rare. Prior to laparotomy, diagnosis of lymphoma is difficult because, of the many possible presenting complaints, none are specific. Treatment is basically surgical excision with postoperative radiation.
