ABSTRACT
Child malignant lymphoma involving the gastrointestinal tract is common, but that of the rectum is rare. Incidence and prognosis are difficult to assess. We present a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the rectum in an 11 year-old boy who had rectal bleeding, altered bowel habits and a bad general status during 3 months before. Proctosigmoidoscopy and histology revealed the presence of B lymphoid cells. Our patient was treated by chemotherapy with GFALB 2001 protocol. We obtained a complete remission after 5 months of treatment with 13 months of backward. We stress the importance of a fast diagnosis in case of a rectal syndrome in a child
