Acute Abdominal Presentation of Enteropathy Intestinal T-cell Lymphoma: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Intra-abdominal hollow organ perforation is a critical condition that requires immediate intervention. There are various causes of small bowel perforation, including benign diseases, iatrogenic procedures, and perforation associated with tumors. However, preoperative imaging alone is often insufficient to determine the underlying cause. In this report, we present a unique case involving a malignant neoplasm of the small intestine resulting in bowel perforation.
