Abstract
The high incidence of HIV infection in South Africa has been associated with a proportional increase in AIDS-defining cancers, including non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). Intussusception is a rare presentation of NHL, accounting for 1% - 5% of all cases of small bowel obstruction.
Contribution: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of B-cell NHL presenting with intussusceptions and small bowel obstruction in South Africa.
