Primary malignant tumors of the small intestine are a rare finding, not thought to be a likely case of intestinal obstruction. A case is reported of a patient presenting with chronic abdominal pain, apparently due to adhesions and a postoperative hernia (already after its repair). On laparotomy two tumors of the small, intestine were found obstructing its lumen, diagnosed histopathologically as primary malignant lymphoma.
