Ileo-colic intussusception in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The gastro-intestinal tract is a common site for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and its involvement leads to a variety of clinical presentations. In adults, intussusception has rarely been associated with gastro-intestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. When it occurs, computerized axial tomography scanning seems to be the diagnostic tool of choice.
