LYMPHOMA OF ANAL CANAL - A CASE REPORT AND THE ROLE OF IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY

AJIN DANIEL P

Abstract


Lymphomas of the alimentary canal are rare  presentations with only 10 of documented cases so far.Moreover even though rectum is the common site of  occurance , lymphoma of anal canal can occur . In this article we discuss our case which presented with anal growth. Initial histological picture was complicated as the growth was not differentiated. Immunohistochemistry was used which gave a clear picture of T-cell lymphoma which on itself is a very rare entity in anal canal.
