High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma: An Atypical Mass in the Colon.

Masses in the colon can range from benign to malignant etiologies, with adenocarcinoma being the most common malignancy. Although the most frequently encountered hematologic malignancy in the military population, lymphoma is uncommonly identified during colonoscopy. We present a rare case of an active duty service member with abdominal pain and a large mesenteric mass with extension into the cecum that was a high-grade B-cell lymphoma diagnosed through endoscopy.
