Calcification in untreated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the jejunum.
A 69-year-old Japanese female was admitted to our hospital due to a 2-month history of vomiting after eating. Examination of the small intestinal tract revealed a tumor with calcification in the inner portion, from the horizontal portion to the ascending portion of the duodenum, and jejunojejunostomy was performed. The pathological findings of the tumor gave a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse small cleaved cell (Working Formulation classification), B cell type, of the jejunum. Calcification is rarely found in untreated malignant lymphoma and 15 cases of untreated malignant lymphoma with calcification have been reviewed.
