Abstract
A malignant lymphoma of the small bowel developed in a 55-yr-old woman who had intestinal malabsorption for 20 yr, late-onset hypo-gamma-globulinemia, and nodular lymphoid hyperplasia. The tumor arose in the first jejunal loop and appeared to be of B-immunoblastic type (diffuse large noncleaved cells). This case indicates that nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in the context of immunodeficiency may be a condition leading to lymphoid malignancy.
