Intestinal T-cell lymphoma: A rare entity presenting with severe acute upper quadrant pain

Abstract

Primary gastrointestinal T-cell lymphomas are rare. Presenting symptoms can be non-specific, and imaging studies can show overlap with nonmalignant processes. Definitive diagnosis requires clinical suspicion and histologic evaluation with ancillary studies for appropriate disease classification and therapeutic intervention.
