Discussion

Lymphoma of the small bowel, colon, and rectum occur, but are less common than gastric lymphoma. Distinct clinicopathologic entities, such as primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma, immunoproliferative small intestinal disease, and multiple lymphomatous polyposis have been described.
Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy have been used in the treatment of GI lymphomas.
