Abstract
MOLINA-VALENCIA, Juliana Lucia and DELGADO-LOPEZ, Carlos Andrés. Surgical complications of lymphoma with gastrointestinal involvement. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.3, pp.514-519. Epub July 18, 2021. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.764.
Introduction.
Lymphoma can affect the gastrointestinal tract, primarily or secondarily, and accounts for up to 2% of all malignant neoplasms of the small intestine and colon. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common primary extranodal location in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Methods.
A literature search performed in the main academic databases, with a review of texts published on the subject in the last 5 years.
Discussion.
The clinical presentation of lymphoma with gastrointestinal involvement is nonspecific and, in up to half of the patients, it can present initially with complications that require surgical management. Among the main ones are intestinal perforation, digestive bleeding and intestinal obstruction.
Keywords : lymphoma; gastrointestinal tract; gastrointestinal neoplasms; intestinal obstruction; intestinal perforation; intussusception.
