title: [A case of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the small bowel in a patient with intestinal obstruction].
abstract: Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) represents an uncommon lesion usually related to humoral immunodeficiency conditions. A case of NLH of the small bowel discovered by chance during an emergency laparotomy for an intestinal obstruction is herein reported. Discussion is focused on the main features of NLH which as in the reported case, is likely to be the initial manifestation of an intestinal disease not yet clinically defined.
