Everard KR, Ikpatt O, Pirzada A. Primary follicular lymphoma of the colon presenting as an incidental finding on endoscopy. J Case Rep Images Pathol 2023;9(2):1–4.ABSTRACT
We present a previously healthy 63-year-old female with incidental polyps in the colon that were detected during a surveillance endoscopy. Clinical examination and imaging studies did not detect any lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. Histopathologic evaluation of polyps revealed a low-grade follicular lymphoma. We suggest that follicular lymphoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of polypoid lesions of the colon.
Keywords: Colon, Follicular lymphoma, Primary
