Intestine Lymphoma

Presentation

There is a lack of information regarding the impact an emergency presentation has on the timing of postoperative chemotherapy and overall prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Immune System

  • Splenomegaly

    However, the presence of extensive retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly favours lymphoma, whereas adjacent fat infiltration supports adenocarcinoma. [radiopaedia.org]

    Bulky mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly are findings that support the diagnosis of a lymphoma. Infiltration of the mesenteric fat favours the diagnosis of an adenocarcinoma. [radiologyassistant.nl]

    Diagnosis Examination in patients with low-grade lymphomas may demonstrate peripheral adenopathy, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Entire Body System

  • Weight Loss

    Other symptoms of both types of lymphoma may include: ongoing fever without infection night sweats, fever, and chills weight loss and loss of appetite unusual itching persistent fatigue, unusual tiredness, or lack of energy pain in lymph nodes after drinking [medicalnewstoday.com]

  • Malaise

    […] case of multiple location in the small intestine of a non-Hodgkin B-cell in a 53 years old patient, who was initially diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia with pleurisy with E. coli, steeper on the right side, but the persistence of symptoms as fever, malaise [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal

  • Abdominal Pain

    Sometimes the abdominal pain decreased expelling diarrheal dejections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Diarrhea

    We record the first case of HOA associated with primary intestinal lymphoma in a patient who presented with chronic diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Intestinal Disease

    Seventy percent of patients with solitary lymphoma and 80% with immunoproliferative small intestinal disease were mulatto. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Other intestinal diseases are very important such as immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID), a prelymphomatous process, and MALT lymphomas, caused by infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori). [europeanreview.org]

  • Abdominal Mass

    Twelve children had Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), presenting most commonly with abdominal masses and/or intestinal obstruction. These patients responded poorly to cyclophosphamide, and the disease disseminated early and extensively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The most common presenting symptoms were abdominal pain (100%), abdominal mass (50%), followed by nausea, vomiting and weight loss (25%), fever (25%) and GI bleeding (15%) as shown in the [Table 1]. [indianjcancer.com]

  • Loss of Appetite

    An enlarged spleen might press on the stomach, which can cause a loss of appetite and feeling full after only a small meal. Lymphomas in the stomach or intestines can cause abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. [cancer.org]

    They may include abdominal discomfort associated with the following: Nausea Bloating Loss of appetite The following symptoms may indicate advanced disease and should be signs to seek medical attention: Fatigue Weight loss Iron deficiency anemia Visible [emedicinehealth.com]

    He showed loss of appetite and weight, and altered bowel habits. A general physical examination revealed that the patient was anemic. [dx.doi.org]

Liver, Gall & Pancreas

  • Hepatomegaly

    High Grade Lymphomas 1 Higher frequency of weight loss at presentation Palpable abdominal mass Hepatomegaly Peripheral lymphadenopathy Elevated serum LDH Higher incidence of stage III-IV disease Significantly larger primary tumors Deeper invasion of the [slideshare.net]

    Diagnosis Examination in patients with low-grade lymphomas may demonstrate peripheral adenopathy, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    […] ref5, ref6, ref7, ref8 : adominal pain (80-100%) diarrhea (70-100%) weight loss (90-100%) vomiting : early stage (10%) advanced stage (30%) low-grade fever (30-50%) abdominal masses early stage (20%) advanced stage (60%) clubbing of fingers (20-60%) hepatomegaly [ufrgs.br]

Workup Routine hematological workup: Hemogram Biochemistry Staging workup UGIE Barium meal & follow through CT scan abdomen Endoscopic USG Chest X ray Bone marrow Optional Immunophenotyping LDH & ß 2 microglobulin CT scan features : Clefts & tracks in [slideshare.net]

Patients who presented with predominant intestinal lesions were classified as having primary intestinal DLBCL according to the definition proposed in previous reports. 13 ⇓ – 15 The imaging studies for staging workup were chest and abdomen-pelvis computerized [bloodjournal.org]

Although a variety of laboratory and imaging studies are used in the evaluation and staging of suspected NHL (see Workup ), a well-processed hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)–stained section of an excised lymph node is the mainstay of pathologic diagnosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

X-Ray

  • Small Bowel Mass

    Carcinoid tumor Small intraluminal mass in the ileum (yellow arrow). Associated spiculated mesenteric mass with adjacent desmoplastic reaction in small bowel carcinoid. Carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine tumors. [radiologyassistant.nl]

Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology [ edit ] The majority of gastric lymphomas are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B-cell origin. These tumors may range from well-differentiated, superficial involvements ( MALT ) to high-grade, large-cell lymphomas. [en.wikipedia.org]

Lymphomas of the gastro-intestinal tract - Pathophysiology, pathology, and differential diagnosis. Indian J Pathol Microbiol 2012;55:1-16 How to cite this URL: Cardona DM, Layne A, Lagoo AS. [ijpmonline.org]

Pathophysiology Approximately 64% of all small-bowel tumors are malignant, and approximately 40% of these tumors are adenocarcinomas. Epidemiologically, small-bowel adenocarcinomas have a striking resemblance to large-bowel adenocarcinomas. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention

Chemotherapy drugs are injected directly into the spinal fluid to prevent the cancer from spreading to the central nervous system. This method of injection is referred to as “intrathecal.” [healthline.com]

Is it possible to prevent colon cancer? The most effective prevention for colorectal cancer is early detection and removal of precancerous colorectal polyps before they turn cancerous. [medicinenet.com]

Treatment Malignant lymphoma of the small bowel is treated with surgical resection, usually followed by chemotherapy to prevent perforation Radiation therapy may also be used Small Bowel Lymphoma-Aneurysmal Dilatation. [learningradiology.com]
