Abstract
-
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is difficult to localize despite advanced diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy, small bowel series, mesenteric angiography and radionuclide scan. We had experienced a case of mantle cell lymphoma of small bowel. In this case, the cause of recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain was not defined despite extensive preoperative evaluation. We diagnosed this case as mantle cell lymphoma after exploratory laparotomy.
