## Abstract
Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is very rare compared to gastrointestinal tract lymphoma arising from secondary to primary nodal disease. Extra nodal lymphoma can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly being the stomach followed by small intestine and ileocecal region. They are indistinguishable from other benign and malignant conditions and are clinically non-specific. While perforation is common among patients undergoing lymphoma treatment, presentation of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma as perforation is rare and needs proper evaluation and management. Here, we describe an interesting case in which a patient presenting with peritonitis was found to have perforation and mass of the jejunum. Resection and anastomosis were performed as intervention, with subsequent histopathological examination showing Malignant Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Postoperative follow up was provided along with the appropriate chemotherapy regimen.
