dc.description.abstractExtranodal Lymphomas are most commonly located in gastrointestinal tract. The most common cause of small intestinal obstruction in children is intussusception. However GI lymphomas are a rare cause of intussusception. So we are reporting a case of extranodal lymphoma in a female child presenting as intussusception of small intestine. a 9 years old female child presented with features of subacute intestinal obstruction. On examination a lump was felt in the abdomen. On further evaluation, a computed tomography (CT) revealed a possibility of lymphoma. The bowel segment was excised and sent for histopathological examination. On gross examination a growth was seen along with satellite lesion. 10 lymph nodes were also identified. Representative sections were taken. Microscopic examination showed the presence of medium size to large size lymphoid cells. After immunohistochemical staining a diagnosis of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (Extranodal Marginal Zone) was made. 1 lymph node was positive for tumour invasion while other 9 were showing reactive hyperplasia. Since both lymphomas and intussesception are common in pediatric age group, lymphoma should always be kept as a differential diagnosis while dealing with a case of intussusception in pediatric age group.en_US
