Article Synopsis
- Multiple lymphomatous polyposis (MLP) is a rare form of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma characterized by polypoid growths in the gut and high rates of spread, which can cause intussusceptions—especially observed in adults but also detailed in a case of a 15-year-old child with high-grade Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
- The child experienced recurrent abdominal pain and was diagnosed with multiple small bowel intussusceptions; surgery confirmed MLP associated with DLBCL, and the patient responded well to chemotherapy.
- Given the uncommon occurrence of MLP due to DLBCL in young patients, healthcare providers should be vigilant for malignant GI lymphoma when faced with intussusception in older children.
