Description
Zachary Vinton and co-authors published a case report in 2026 about a 60-year-old man with progressive fatigue, upper belly pain, and iron deficiency. His gut camera exam showed normal-looking lining in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Random tissue samples were taken anyway, and they changed the picture.
The biopsies revealed duodenal-type follicular lymphoma, an uncommon slow-growing cancer, with no sign of the same cancer elsewhere in the body. Body scans showed no focal uptake in the duodenum, only doubtful faint uptake in nearby nodes. He was treated with a single antibody drug, rituximab. Follow-up scans showed a complete metabolic response, and repeat biopsies found no remaining lymphoma.
