A 19-year-old Coloured man with alpha-chain disease died after perforation of a lymphoma in the duodenojejunal region. At autopsy he was found to have a dense plasma cell infiltration of the lamina propria of the entire small bowel, causing thickening of that organ, and a malignant lymphoma in the duodenojejunal region which had spread to regional mesenteric nodes and to the liver only.
