What is it about?
Composite lymphoma (CL) is defined by the coexistence of different lymphoma subtypes in the same anatomical location. This condition has seldom been witnessed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. We describe an extremely rare case of composite lymphoma of small bowel in a 64-year-old man who suffered from rectal discomfort and non-specific clinical symptoms coincidentally discovered by MRI.

Nowadays, MRI has been proved a highly accurate method both for early diagnosis and for local staging of the disease.
