Abstract
Report of a rare case of an 83-year-old patient with lymphoma of the terminal ileum causing obstructive/perforated acute abdomen synchronous with sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma and review of literature data about small bowel malignancies, particularly lymphomas. It seems to correspond to a rare disease (2% of all bowel cancers), more prevalent in elderly and immunocompromised patients, whose symptoms are vague and early diagnosis is difficult, often making it impossible to establish the correct therapy.
Relato de caso raro de um paciente de 83 anos, com linfoma de íleo terminal causador de abdome agudo obstrutivo/perfurativo sincrônico à adenocarcinoma de cólon sigmoide e revisão dos dados disponíveis na literatura acerca das neoplasias de intestino delgado, em especial os linfomas. Constata-se que corresponde a uma afecção rara (2% de todas as neoplasias intestinais), mais predominante em pacientes idosos e imunodeprimidos, cuja sintomatologia é vaga e o diagnóstico precoce difícil, fato que impossibilita muitas vezes a instituição da terapêutica correta.
