Abstract
Primary colorectal lymphoma (PCL) is a rare condition that accounts for a
small percentage of all gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. There are several
reports in the literature regarding the most common features of PCL. However,
primary lymphoma in the rectosigmoid junction has been rarely reported. Our
case was a 67-year-old male who presented with non-specific symptoms of
bowel obstruction which, upon further workup, was diagnosed as a rare case of
PCL located in the rectosigmoid junction.
