title: Comparative study of bowel lymphosarcoma in childhood.
abstract: Five cases of lymphosarcoma of the bowel in Nigerian Igbo children are presented. They were found to be similar to an Australian series in the following respects: boys were more commonly affected than girls; affected children were all aged over two years; and the two main modes of presentation were intussusception and a localized abdominal mass. Unlike Australian children, Nigerian Igbos did not present with features suggestive of acute appendicitis.
