Resumen
An asymptomatic 38-year-old male with no significant previous medical history performed routine laboratory studies that revealed iron-deficiency anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were unremarkable and he undergone videocapsule endoscopy that revealed multiple small polyps along jejunum and ileum. Double-balloon enteroscopy confirmed the presence of scattered small whitish nodules and small polyps carpeting segments of jejunal mucosal and sometimes forming conglomerates with a nodular appearance. Histopathological examination showed lamina propria expansion by neoplastic follicles, predominantly composed by small lymphoid cells that, by immunohistochemistry, showed expression of CD20, CD10 and bcl-2. Computed tomography scan of abdomen and pelvis did not reveal systemic involvement, consistent with primary small bowel follicular lymphoma. Chemotherapy was started and, at reevaluation enteroscopy, although nodular jejunal segments persisted, biopsies did not show involvement by lymphoproliferative disease, which was interpreted as complete remission. Periodic clinical and biochemical evaluation and annual enteroscopic surveillance was maintained and, after three years, local recurrence of low-grade follicular lymphoma was detected. As previously, there was no evidence of systemic involvement and the decision was to maintain close surveillance. After one year, the patient remains asymptomatic and without evidence of disease progression. This case illustrates the essential role of balloon-assisted enteroscopy for diagnosis and surveillance of primary small bowel follicular lymphoma.
