Tóm tắt

Mesenteric lymphoma is very rare of mesenteric tumors, approximately 30%–50% of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma harbor disease in the mesenteric lymph nodes. We present the case of a 57-year-old male with mild abdominal pain and a history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a dense tissue replacing mesenteric fat, surrounding loops of bowel. The differential diagnosis between primary mesenteric lymphoma and others peritoneum diseases such as peritoneal carcinomatosis, malignant primary peritoneal mesotheliomas, tuberculous peritonitis, sarcomatosis, diffuse peritoneal leiomyomatosis or benign splenosis, constitutes a major problem in imaging techniques. Our report demonstrates a rare and important differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and the crucial role of surgical excisional biopsy to diagnose mesenteric ly mphoma
