Mantle cell lymphoma presenting as solitary polypoid colonic lesions.
Mantle cell lymphoma of the intestine is rare, usually presenting as multiple small polyps. We report three men with colonic mantle cell lymphoma in the form of single large polypoid mass. The clinical picture suggested adenocarcinoma; the diagnosis was made at histology and immunohistochemistry of the colectomy specimens.
