Abstract
Primary extranodal malignant lymphoma frequently occurs in the gastroi ntestinal tract; however, it is rarely encountered in the rectum. We r eport herein the case of an 85-year-old man who underwent abdominoperi neal resection for primary malignant lymphoma of the rectum, and 1 yea r later, developed hematemesis caused by gastric metastasis. To our kn owledge this is the first case report of such distant metastasis devel oping from malignant lymphoma of the rectum.
