Abstract
We report the case of an HIV-seropositive patient with non-Hodgkin lym phoma of the small intestine who presented with an ileocolic intussusc eption. This lesion fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for primary gast rointestinal lymphoma. Such a neoplasm in an immunocompromised patient is usually more aggressive and less responsive to treatment than in a n HIV-seronegative patient.
