Résumé

La localisation rectocolique des lymphomes non hodgkiniens primitifs extranodaux demeure rare et ne représente que 10–20 % des lymphomes gastro-intestinaux et 0,2–0,6 % des tumeurs malignes colorectales. Nous rapportons l’observation d’un homme âgé de 84 ans qui était hospitalisé pour exploration d’une constipation avec douleur abdominale. La coloscopie avait montré une lésion ulcérée du côlon transverse dont les biopsies avaient conclu à un lymphome B à grandes cellules. Le bilan d’extension était négatif. Le patient est décédé après trois cures de chimiothérapie. À travers cette observation et une revue de la littérature, nous discuterons les caractéristiques épidémiologiques, clinicomorphologiques et thérapeutiques de cette entité rare.

Abstract

Rectocolonic localization of primitive extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma remains rare. It accounts for only 10–20% of gastrointestinal lymphomas and 0.2–0.6% of colorectal malignancies.We report the case of a patient aged 84 years who was admitted for exploration of constipation with abdominal pain. Colonoscopy revealed an ulcerated lesion of the transverse colon. Histological examination revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The staging was negative. The patient died after three cycles of chemotherapy. Through this observation and the literature review, we discuss the epidemiological and clinical-morphological features and treatment of this rare entity. To cite this journal: Acta Endosc.
