[Lymphogranulomatosis of the recto-sigmoid region: a rare primary manifestation and localization (author's transl)].
In a 46-year-old patient lymphogranulomatosis was found localized exclusively in the rectosigmoid region. The stenosing tumour was removed by resection of the sigmoid colon. No further evidence of abdominal Hodgkin's disease was found at a second operation when splenectomy and careful searching for affected lymph nodes were performed.
