Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as an ileocaecal mass in a post-transplant patient.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Extranodal involvement, including the gastrointestinal tract, occurs frequently. However, colorectal involvement is extremely rare. We present a case of a man in his 20s with prior renal transplantation on immunosuppression for 10 years who developed symptoms of gas and bloating associated with unintentional weight loss. Colonoscopy revealed a large fungating mass at the ileocaecal valve, and a biopsy of this lesion confirmed stage IV DLBCL. Endoscopy should be considered for early workup of vague gastrointestinal symptoms, even in younger patients, if they have been on long-standing immunosuppression.
