[Acute abdominal signs of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma at a young age].

In this report the authors present the case of a highly malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a young operated patient. They call attention to the gastrointestinal form which is difficult to diagnose. In this case the lymphoma was detected only by laparotomy. The prognosis of secondary generalized lymphoma is poor. In most cases just like in the on described above--it ends with sepsis and death.
