Intussusception due to non Hodgkin's lymphoma; different experiences in two children: Two case reports

Abstract

In children, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been found to be the lead point in intussusception involving the terminal ileum. We present here two cases of ileal primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which presented as intussusception, highlighting the differing presentations of these children and their outcome, with a brief review of the literature. © 2009 Shakya et al.; licensee Cases Network Ltd.
