Abstract
Intestinal T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (ITCL, NOS), primarily affects the small bowel but can involve the stomach and large bowel. This report presents an uncommon case of ITCL, NOS in a patient affecting the large bowel, supported by a literature review. An 87-year-old female presented with abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and weight loss. Imaging revealed nodular thickening of the transverse and right colon, confirmed as polypoid mass lesions with ulceration through colonoscopy and biopsy, indicating ITCL, NOS. CT scan showed adrenal nodes classifying it as stage VI. The patient was referred for palliative care and passed away 40 days later, likely due to tumor progression. This case underscores the rarity of large bowel ITCL, NOS and the diagnosis challenge.
肠 T 细胞淋巴瘤(ITCL,NOS)主要累及小肠,但也可累及胃和大肠。本报告介绍了一例罕见的大肠 T 细胞淋巴瘤(ITCL,NOS)病例,并附有文献综述。一名 87 岁的女性患者出现腹痛、发烧、呕吐和体重减轻。影像学检查发现横结肠和右侧结肠结节状增厚,通过结肠镜检查和活检证实为伴有溃疡的息肉样肿块病变,表明为 ITCL,NOS。CT 扫描显示肾上腺结节,将其归类为 VI 期。患者被转诊接受姑息治疗,40 天后去世,很可能是由于肿瘤进展所致。该病例凸显了大肠ITCL(NOS)的罕见性和诊断难题。
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
