Abstract
Peritoneal lymphomatosis (PL) is a rare lymphoma-associated condition defined as the dissemination of lymphoma cells in the peritoneum. An 82-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, heartburn, and high fever. Radiological findings, including positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), and gastrointestinal fiberscopy, showed diffuse thickening of the peritoneum, omentum, and mesentery; however, no lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, or gastrointestinal lesions were observed. Under suspicion of peritonitis carcinomatosa of unknown origin, exploratory laparoscopy was performed that revealed multiple white nodules and masses on the surfaces of the peritoneum, mesentery, and intestinal serosa. The histopathological and cytogenetic findings of the peritoneum revealed high-grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, and a gain of MYC by fluorescence in-situ hybridization. The patient was treated with two cycles of R-CHOP therapy, followed by six cycles of dose-adjusted EPOCH-R therapy, and a complete metabolic response was confirmed by PET-CT. Since there are no specific radiological findings to confirm the diagnosis of PL, a histopathological diagnosis is usually required. Most PL exhibit an aggressive lymphoma phenotype and can be cured by appropriate chemotherapy. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are desirable.

Abstract
Peritoneal lymphomatosis is a rare presentation of lymphoma that can mimic peritoneal tuberculosis. The computed tomography findings in both conditions include omental caking, thickening, and nodularity. We report the case of a 41-year-old man who presented with intermittent abdominal pain and distension. Abdominal CT initially suggested peritoneal tuberculosis due to the thickening of the peritoneum and greater omentum with multiple nodules. However, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) images showed diffuse metabolic activity increase in the thickened peritoneum, omentum, and mesentery. An omental biopsy was performed under ultrasonography guidance, and histopathological examination revealed a high-grade Burkitt lymphoma. It is crucial to distinguish peritoneal lymphomatosis from tuberculosis, as the prognosis and management of the two conditions are vastly different.

Abstract
Two equine patients presented separately with severe abdominal distention, colic, lethargy, and decreased appetite. An ante-mortem diagnosis of lymphoma was reached in each case based on peritoneal fluid cytology. Due to a poor prognosis, the horses were humanely euthanized. Post-mortem examination with histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed both cases as lymphoma: alimentary B-cell lymphoma of the distal jejunum and cecum in one case, and T-cell lymphoma of the cecum in the second case. Both cases exhibited extensive metastasis with peritoneal and pleural serosae covered in small nodules and plaque like masses consistent with lymphomatosis. These cases document a unique presentation of lymphoma in equine patients presenting as peritoneal lymphomatosis with ascites.

Abstract
Peritoneal lymphomatosis (PL) is a rare presentation of malignant lymphoma cases, many of which are diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and characterized by aggressive clinical courses. We herein report a 63-year-old woman presenting with the rapid development of abdominal distention due to bulky peritoneal tumors. The pathological evaluation of a needle biopsy sample, combined with flow cytometry, yielded the diagnosis of DLBCL. Prompt chemotherapeutic intervention resulted in favorable disease control and sustained complete remission. It is necessary to diagnose cases of DLBCL presenting as PL early to ensure prompt treatment and prevent mortality.

Abstract
Peritoneal lymphomatosis is extremely rare and associated with poor prognosis. Most practitioners only pay more attention to peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, peritoneal lymphomatosis can be neglected and misdiagnosed. We report a teenager with 10 days of abdominal distension and pain accompanied by computed tomography scan suggesting diffuse thickening of the peritoneum and omentum and abdominopelvic effusion. Tuberculous peritonitis and peritoneal carcinomatosis were initially suspected. However, it was finally confirmed as non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma by omentum biopsies. He achieved complete remission after chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. But unfortunately, he suffered a relapse and died 10 months after diagnosis. Following a review of the literature, it can be concluded that the discovery of lymphomatosis in peritoneum is a rare finding. Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained peritoneal thickening on computed tomography, and this case emphasizes the importance of early pathological diagnosis to make sure that the right treatment can be started opportunely.

Abstract
Introduction Involvement of the peritoneum occurs very rarely and is exceptional as an exclusive extranodal presentation of lymphomas. In most cases lymphomas associated with this rare entity are high-grade ones. PL secondary to high-grade nodal lymphoma is more frequent than primary peritoneal lymphoma, and there are only a few cases of the latter described in the literature. Description of the case We present the case of a patient with constitutional syndrome and imaging findings suggestive of peritoneal carcinomatosis who was finally diagnosed with a Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) by an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) of peritoneum. The patient received one polychemotherapy cycle; however tumor lysis syndrome occurred with death of the patient in the following days. This case tries to show the existence of a PL without other radiological findings of lymphoma, a fact that is very exceptionally described in the literature. Discussion The differential diagnosis between PL and others peritoneum diseases such as peritoneal carcinomatosis, malignant primary peritoneal mesotheliomas, tuberculous peritonitis, sarcomatosis, diffuse peritoneal leiomyomatosis or benign splenosis, constitutes a major problem in imaging techniques. An exhaustive analysis of the radiological characteristics as well as a clinical-analytical context allows the differential diagnosis against peritoneal carcinomatosis and the rest of the entities previously referred although the final diagnosis will always be a biopsy. Conclusion PL usually manifests as an aggressive histological subtype of high-grade lymphomas leading to a rapid progression and deterioration of the patient. It is crucial for the radiologist and the clinician to be aware of this rare entity providing the earliest possible diagnosis and optimal treatment to prolong the patient's life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a fatal complication of solid organ transplantation or allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that is associated with immunosuppressive therapy. Potential manifestations are diverse, ranging from reactive lymphoid hyperplasia to high-grade lymphoma. PTLD is usually of B-cell origin and associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Herein, we describe a case of PTLD involving the peritoneal omentum. There has been only case of PTLD as a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the peritoneum.
CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 62-year-old man who had been receiving immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus since undergoing a liver transplant 15 years prior. He reported that he had experienced abdominal discomfort and anorexia 1 month prior to the current admission. Abdominal pelvic computed tomography (CT) revealed peritoneal and omental mass-like lesions without bowel obstruction. Ultrasonography-guided biopsy was performed, and he was histologically diagnosed with EBV-negative DLBCL. Positron emission tomography (PET)-CT depicted peritoneum and omentum involvement only, without any lymphadenopathy or organ masses, including in the gastrointestinal tract. Six cycles of chemotherapy with a “R-CHOP“ regimen (rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone) were administered, and PET-CT performed thereafter indicated complete remission.
CONCLUSION This is the first report of isolated peritoneal lymphomatosis defined as PTLD in a liver transplant recipient.

Abstract
Peritoneal lymphomatosis represents a rare presentation of any type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with relatively few cases reported in the literature. We present here the case of a 61-year-old man who originally presented with increased abdominal distention associated with shortness of breath and diaphoresis who was found to have evidence of peritoneal carcinomatosis on CT scan. Biopsy confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the working diagnosis was subsequently modified to peritoneal lymphomatosis. The patient was treated with dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) therapy with initially good response. His course was complicated by tumour lysis syndrome. We review the limited literature discussing peritoneal lymphomatosis and discuss the importance of facilitating rapid and efficacious treatment.
