Implication

Case report demonstrates fistula formation linked to monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma, indicating early diagnostic importance.

Key Points

  • This case highlights the association between gastrointestinal fistula formation and malignant lymphoma, specifically MEITL.
  • Conducted endoscopic examination and biopsy to diagnose MEITL in an elderly female patient.
  • Utilized computed tomography and positron emission tomography to assess the disease staging and fistulous connection.
  • Observed the patient's clinical decline and chose best supportive care over surgical or chemotherapy interventions.
  • Endoscopy revealed a circumferential ulcerative lesion and a jejuno-colonic fistula.
  • Biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma.
  • Patient died 33 days after hospitalization, underlining the aggressive nature of MEITL.
