Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract is the most common extranodal site of primary no n-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We present a case of a 50-year-old male with primary B cell lymphoma arising in an S-pouch eight Fears after a total proctocolec tomy for ulcerative colitis. After chemoradiotherapy the patient remained a symptomatic, with an intact S-pouch. Pouch conservation is feasible in pati ents with primary lymphoma of the pouch, using chemoradiotherapy and close follow-up examinations.
