Abstract

Authors report a case of a 29-year-old male with primary malignant lymphoma of the appendix with involvement of lymph nodes in the mesenteries. Surgical intervention was performed, adjuvant chemotherapy was applied. No recurrences, metastases or complaints occurred after one year of follow-up. The case is of interest due to the clinical and histopathological diagnostic problems as well as the dimension of the metastatic lymph node in the ileal mesentery.
