Sumario:In contrast to the common extra-nodal intestinal lymphoma, intestinal lymphoma of primary origin is rare. We present an interesting case of 35-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain, then deteriorated rapidly and developed small bowel perforation. Initial diagnosis was made by computed tomography, and subsequently the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound-guided biopsy and histopathological assessment. This case report emphasizes on the importance of the radiological role in the diagnosis and management of such case to avoid catastrophic sequalae and complications such as intestinal obstruction, perforation, and intra-abdominal sepsis.
