Popis: A man aged 65 years had undergone high orchidectomy of the right testis for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) occurring primarily in the testis 11 months before. Although he was referred to another hospital for postoperative chemotherapy, he refused the treatment by self-judgement. For 1 month, he had been experiencing melena and anal pain, so he visited our department in June. Rectal palpation revealed a sub-circumference tumor palpable from the anal margin, in which a part protruded outside the anus. CT revealed a sub-circumference hypertrophic wall from the rectal Ra to the anus and intramural enlarged lymph nodes, without metastases to the other organs. Systemic gallium scintigraphy detected a strong concentration in the rectum. The endoscopic examination of the inferior region revealed a circumference type 2 tumor at Rb, and biopsy revealed DLBCL. Clinically, this case was considered a testoid DLBCL with rectal metastasis. Therefore, we performed laparoscopic rectal amputation in July, XX. sT3N1b, cM0. The postoperative course was uneventful. After the patient was discharged from our department, he received chemotherapy at another hospital. At present, 4 years 0 month postoperatively, the patient condition is favorable without recurrence. When perforation occurs in gastrointestinal DLBCL, the start of chemotherapy is delayed and the primary lesion worsen. Therefore, we performed surgical therapy first. Such cases must be evaluated for metastases or new lesions carefully.
