摘要

ALK-negative primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the small intestine is exceptionally rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Characterized by large-sized neoplastic lymphoid cells with scant cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei, its clinical presentation is often nonspecific, mimicking infections or inflammatory disorders. We present a rare case of ALK-negative primary ALCL of the small intestine in a 35-year-old male who presented with fever, abdominal pain, and significant weight loss. This case highlights the need for heightened clinical suspicion, a comprehensive histopathological and immunophenotypic approach, and optimal management strategies for this aggressive entity.
