ABSTRACT
A 75-year-old woman presented complaining of anorexia. A malignant gastrointestinal lymphoma was diagnosed, and chemotherapy was initiated. After 2 months, she developed vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) revealed thickening of the jejunal wall and dilatation of the intestine proximal to that area. Positron emission tomography-CT showed no uptake. Small bowel stenosis due to cicatricial stenosis after chemotherapy was suspected. Laparoscopic partial resection of the stenotic small bowel segment was performed. Histopathologically, only granulation tissue was seen with no evidence of tumor. Occasionally, cicatricial stenosis can develop after chemotherapy for malignant gastrointestinal lymphoma. Therefore, this condition must be considered an important complication of treatment for this disease.
