Abstract
Gastrocolic fistula in primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the sto mach is rare; in a review of the literature we found only four cases, all in association with disseminated (stage IV) disease. We describe t he first case of a gastrocolic fistula in a patient with stage IE lymp homa. The diagnosis was suggested by feculent vomiting, and the fistul a was located using barium enema and CT scan. Therapy consisted of loc al resection followed by combination chemotherapy.
