Abstract
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare variant of diffuse large B cell
lymphoma that is aggressive in nature. Initially described in oral cavity with
human immunodeficiency virus infection. Extraoral sites include lungs, nasal
cavity, lymph nodes and skin with small intestine being a rare site. PBL does
not express common lymphoid markers so can be easily misinterpreted as poorly
differentiated carcinoma or melanoma or sarcoma. A delayed diagnosis might
impact both treatment and survival of patient. This case report underscores the
rarity of PBL presenting in the form of intestinal polyposis.
