Popis: Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is a rare entity that can involve different types of both B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, including mantle cell lymphoma. A 57-year-old male patient is presented with prolapse of the rectal canal associated with data of lower digestive tract bleeding. A colonoscopy and subsequent upper endoscopy were performed with findings compatible with lymphomatous polyposis. After a biopsy study, mantle cell lymphoma was diagnosed and chemotherapy treatment was started. The endoscopic finding of multiple lymphomatous polypoposis associated with an adequate histopathological diagnosis improves the treatment success rate in patients with different types of gastrointestinal lymphomas.
