ABSTRACT
This is a report of a 75 year old woman wrongly diagnosed and managed as a case of abdominal tuberculosis and peptic ulcer disease with no improvement in symptoms before a definitive diagnosis of low grade B-cell lymphoma was made with immunohistochemistry. She was completely free of symptoms after two of four courses of R-CVP [Rituximab- Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisolone]. A plea is made for appropriate investigation in order to avoid wasteful spending of patient's resources and undue exposure of patient to poor management
