title: Peritoneal lymphomatosis confounded by prior history of colon cancer: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  It is well known that carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract are frequently associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis. In contrast to that entity extensive involvement of the peritoneal cavity with malignant lymphoma is rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is the first case reporting coexistence of peritoneal lymphomatosis and a previous history of colon cancer, which is a highly challenging clinical situation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  If not aware of this unusual condition medical history, radiologic finding and laboratory data alone can lead to wrong diagnosis as in this case.
