Abstract

Lymphoma generally falls outside the domain of a surgeon except for establishing the disease by doing a biopsy. At times surgical consultation may be sought in an emergency in a diagnosed or an undiagnosed case of a gastro-intestinal lymphoma (GI lymphoma) because of either obstruction or perforation. Hence it is imperative for a surgeon to apprise himself of this condition and the role of surgery in such instances. GI lymphomas may also perforate while on chemotherapy.
