An 86-year-old man with gastrointestinal bleeding and small-bowel obstruction
Article Abstract:
An 86-year-old man with an 18-month history of gastrointestinal bleeding was admitted to a hospital. X-rays showed that the bleeding probably originated in his small intestine and that the intestine might be blocked. CT scans showed some kind of abnormality in the small intestine, and his doctors ruled out every possible cause except cancer. The primary diagnosis was lymphoma of the small intestine, which was confirmed by surgery. He was ultimately diagnosed with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma of the small intestine.
