Summary
Introduction:
Primary colonic lymphoma is a very rare malignant disease of the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for 1−4% of all malignant diseases in this location. It is classified in the group of extranodal lymphomas; its long-term asymptomatic progression makes it different from common colorectal carcinomas making its diagnosis very difficult, more often accidental. Gallstone ileus is quite an uncommon complication of cholecystolithiasis diagnosed with difficulty. Up to 50% of cases are diagnosed during surgery. The obturated location depends on the size of the stone, location of the conjunction between the biliary and gastrointestinal tracts, and also on any preexisting stenosis due to another unknown pathology.
Case report:
We present a case of an 86-year-old man treated for acute diverticulitis with typical clinical symptoms. Following further examination (colonoscopy, computed tomography) revealed a tumour-like infiltration in the sigmoid colon wall and a voluminous polyp was suspected according to the colonoscopy. Computed tomography described an obstruction by a biliary stone tumbling through the cholecystocolonic fistula. Subsequent biopsy supported the suspected malignant etiology. The patient underwent resection of the sigmoid colon sec. Hartmann; an infiltration was found in the subhepatic space, which corresponded to the described fistulisation between the biliary tract and the colon. A large 40 mm gallstone was found in the resected sigmoid colon over the stenosis and the bowel wall showed diffuse thickening with several polyps; final histopathological assessment confirmed malignant lymphoma of the plasmocytoma type. No serious complications occurred in the postoperative period; after healing, the patient was transferred to hematooncology care.
Conclusion:
The article describes the presence of two rare diseases – colonic lymphoma and gallstone ileus. Clearly, without the biliary stone obstruction in the preexisting tumorous stenosis in the sigmoid colon, the malignant hematooncology disease would not have been diagnosed.
Key words:
primary colonic lymphoma – gallstone ileus – complication of the cholecystolithiasis – extranodal lymphoma – acute diverticulitis
