Overview

Case findings reveal low treatment response and survival rates for non-Hodgkin lymphoma in gastrointestinal tract.

Key Points

  • This case report aims to highlight the challenges associated with diagnosing and treating MEITL.
  • Case report of a 70-year-old man with colonic ulcer and delayed diagnosis of MEITL
  • Evaluation included colonoscopic biopsy and surgical resection
  • Clinical findings and diagnostic processes are detailed
  • The colonic ulcer was misdiagnosed until surgical intervention revealed MEITL
  • Treatment initiation was delayed due to intestinal perforation
  • Overall survival rates remain low due to the aggressive nature of MEITL.
