Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma often involves the gastrointestinal tract, but primary lymphoma of the colon is rare. Primary lymphoma of the colon m asquerading as inflammatory bowel disease is even rarer. We report a p atient with an initial diagnosis of Crohn's colitis, who later appeare d to have had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the colon. We review the diagn osis and treatment of this rare disease.
