ABSTRACT
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), accounting for 3-10% of NHL. MCL involves the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in 10-30% of patients and common sites of MCL GI tract involvement are the colorectum and stomach, but any region of the GI tract may be involved. GI tract involvement by MCL usually presents in the form of multiple lymphomatous polyposis involving several segments of the GI tract. A few cases of MCL presenting with a GI tract stricture have been reported. Here, we present a rare case of a small intestinal stricture caused by MCL and review the literature of this disease.
