Abstract
In May 1981, a 14-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with the clinical diagnosis of intussusception of the ileo-cecal region. The tentative diagnosis at the operation was the tumor of the terminal ileum. The histological diagnosis was malignant lymphoma. After admission, barium enema and colon fiberscopy revealed small lymphoid polyposis extending throughout the colon. This small lymphoid polyposis resembled “Multiple Lymphomatous Polyposis of the Gastrointestinal Tract”(M.L.P.)originally reported by Comes in 1960. The first report of the disease in Japan was by Narui and Nakamura in 1979, a case of benign M.L.P. Although it is not yet certain that our case is an another case of M.L.P., we think it worthwhile to report our case resembling the M.L.P.. So far, there has been no evidence for recurrence for a year and three months following the operation. We would like to follow-up this patient and make a final diagnosis.
