B-lymphoblastic lymphoma is a neoplasm of immature B cells and is characterized by aggressive behavior and disease progression. Common sites of involvement are skin, lymph nodes, bone, soft tissues, breast, and the mediastinum. Gastrointestinal lesions are rarely encountered and therefore not fully described. We herein report the case of a 28-year-old male, who presented with abdominal pain and CT scan showed a tumor involving the small bowel and its mesentery. He underwent emergency laparotomy and enterectomy. Histopathology report revealed B-lymphoblastic lymphoma affecting the small bowel and the adjacent mesentery. This is the first documented case of a small bowel tumor diagnosed as B-lymphoblastic lymphoma in published literature.

Carcinoid tumors are the most common nonduodenal small bowel tumors. Although the diagnosis of any small bowel tumor is challenging, serum tumor markers and specialized imaging can aid in the diagnosis of carcinoid. Localized carcinoids are treated with surgical resection, whereas metastatic tumors are treated with somatostatin analogues, although liver-directed therapies can improve disease-related symptoms. In contrast, small bowel lymphomas are primarily treated with chemotherapy and sometimes radiation, although surgical intervention may be necessary for diagnosis and resection for palliation of symptoms. Furthermore, there are many benign etiologies of small bowel tumors, including adenoma, leiomyoma, and lipoma. The small bowel can also be a site of distant metastases for which surgical management is reserved for the treatment of complications such as bleeding, obstruction, perforation, or pain. This review contains 3 figures, 3 tables and 17 references.   Key words: carcinoid tumor, desmoid tumor, locoregional therapy, mesentery, neuroendocrine tumor, small bowel, small bowel lymphoma, somatostatin

A 47 years old Saudi male was admitted to king Khalid hospital with complaints of constipation and abdominal distension. Abdominal examination showed as a case of intestinal obstruction. He was fully evaluated and was treated first conservatively, until all investigative study confirmed as huge small bowel dilatation (mainly jejunum). Exploratory laparotomy confirmed small bowel tumor and on histology an adenocarcinoma. The introduction, history and research paper will also be discussed in this report.
