We report the case of a 56-year-old male with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), RAI 0 and Binet Stage A in therapeutic abstention, who presented to the Emergency Department with a two-week history of low abdominal pain and constipation. Physical examination was unremarkable except for mild diffuse abdominal pain on palpation. Laboratory studies revealed lymphocytosis and anemia (Hb: 10.2 g/dl). An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a partial small bowel obstruction secondary to a proximal ileal neoplasm.
