The authors describe a case of a rectal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in a 78-year-old female patient, manifested as rectal bleeding. Despite being commonly diagnosed in the localized form, this patient had supradiaphragmatic involvement on disease staging. Immunochemotherapy was proposed due to the disseminated involvement and poorer prognosis.
