โฆ Synopsis
Thirty cases of malignant lymphoma involving the small bowel were studied. It seems that this condition is particularly prevalent in the Middle East. Most frequently, it involves the proximal parts of the small bowel in a diffuse form, resulting in malabsorption syndrome. Histologically, they are poorly differentiated lymphocytic and/or histiocytic. Further studies may reveal more interesting aspects of this entity.
