Abstract:
Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is a reaction of the intestinal lymphatic tissue to specific inflammatory stimuli and may be probably of no clinical significance, but it may evolve to primary gastrointestinal lymphoma in more severe cases. Recently, several cases of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia complicated by primary gastrointestinal lymphoma have been reported, and which suggested that nodular lymphoid hyperplasia could not be considered as simple benign colon disease any more. We also experienced a case of primary jejunal malignant lymphoma associated with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia, and report this case with a brief review of relevant literatures.
