Abstract

Collision tumors are rare and there have only been a few previously described cases between an intestinal adenoma and a lymphoma. We report the first case of a 74-year-old woman who on investigation for iron deficiency had a tubulovillous adenoma with underlying follicular lymphoma. The atypical lymphoid proliferation showed immunohistochemical positivity for cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20), B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2), and B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6). Subsequent right hemicolectomy showed a superficially invasive adenocarcinoma.
