Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma of the Colon in an Asymptomatic Patient.

Extranodal lymphomas of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are known entities, but primary lymphoma of the colon is extremely rare. Symptoms are non-specific, such as abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, unintentional weight loss, night sweats, and changes in bowel habits. Some patients do not have any specific symptoms, which makes diagnosis extremely difficult. We present a 69-year-old asymptomatic male who was incidentally found to have an inflammatory mass in the descending colon on screening colonoscopy; the initial biopsy was inconclusive. However, due to high suspicion of any underlying malignancy, a repeat colonoscopy with biopsy was done, which revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Prompt and early diagnosis is extremely crucial for timely management. Management includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.
