Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor arising in lymph nodes or extra-nodal lymphoid tissues, with an incidence of 8.3 per million. It accounts for approximately 7% of childhood and adolescent malignancies, second only to leukemia and brain tumors. Despite the gastrointestinal tract being the most common extra-nodal site involved by lymphoma, primary intestinal lymphoma (PIL) is rare and typically affects middle-aged men without specific clinical symptoms. Here, we present the case of a 2-year-old child indicative of PIL with the informed consent of the parents.
