Rectal lymphoma is a rare condition, presenting in less than 0.5% of all primary rectal neoplasms. Due to the disease's primary non-specific symptoms, its diagnosis is usually made at advanced stages. Clinically, it is indistinguishable from rectal carcinoma. The optimal approach for managing rectal lymphoma has still not been determined. We report a case of primary rectal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (stage IV) in a 71-year-old Omani woman.
直肠淋巴瘤是一种罕见疾病,在所有原发性直肠肿瘤中所占比例不到0.5%。由于该疾病的主要症状不具有特异性,其诊断通常在疾病晚期才能做出。临床上,它与直肠癌难以区分。目前仍未确定直肠淋巴瘤的最佳治疗方法。我们报告一例71岁阿曼女性原发性直肠弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(IV期)的病例。
