Core Tip
Core tip: Intussusception is a common cause of bowel obstruction in pediatric patients. Primary diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the small intestine is rare. Intussusception due to primary diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the small intestine is even rarer in adults and is often difficult to diagnose. This article describes the diagnosis and management of this rare disease.
