Follicular Lymphoma Presenting as an Isolated Colonic Polyp

Follicular Lymphoma Presenting as an Isolated Colonic Polyp

Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer, 2013
Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common form of indolent lymphoma and accounts for 20–25 % of all lymphomas [1]. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the predominant site for primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and is 5–10 % of all extranodal diseases. Primary gastrointestinal NHL is found in the colon and is 6–20 % of all cases with 1–3.6 % being follicular lymphomas [2]. There has been only one other reported case of a follicular lymphoma presenting as an isolated polyp. We present another case of this same occurrence and include a brief review of this rare event.
