Sumario:BACKGROUND: MEITL (monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma) is a rare primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma associated with high mortality rate. Being intestinal this implies difficult diagnostic workup and management. CASE: We present a case of 59-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and found to have 15 × 11 cm mass in the right iliac fossa. Decision for surgical excision was retained and the Pathological examination determined monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) with CD30 positive immune-histochemical profile. CONCLUSION: MEITL is a rare entity which retains challenging diagnosis and management as well as variable immune-histochemical profile. In the absence of clear guidelines for the management of intestinal manifestation of lymphoma, surgical approach may have its indications.
