title: [Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as a cause of intussusception in children].
abstract: From 1972 to 1985, a total of 35 children with histological diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated. A previously undiagnosed abdominal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma produced intussusception in three of these children between 5 and 10 years of age. Our experience indicates that any child around 6 years of age with abdominal pain, bloody stools and a palpable mass plus radiographic evidence of intussusception should be considered to have an intestinal wall lymphoma until proven otherwise. Inadequate surgical treatment may result from failure to recognize relationship between intussusception and lymphoma in older child.
