[Two cases of primary T cell lymphoma of the small intestine diagnosed by perforated peritonitis].
We encountered 2 cases (a 28-year-old man and a 63-year-old woman) of primary T cell lymphoma of the small intestine diagnosed by perforated peritonitis. T cell lymphoma perforates the small intestine more easily than B cell lymphoma, because T cell lymphoma infiltrates the intestinal tract wall, and forms an ulcerative tumor.
