Abstract
Two cases of lymphoma presenting as appendicitis are reported here. The diagnosis was made post operatively, mantle cell lymphoma in one appendectomy specimen in a known case of mantle cell lymphoma and high grade B cell lymphoma, NOS from other right hemicolectomy specimen complicating as appendicular abscess and cecal perforation. These cases highlight the importance of routine histopathological examination of appendix specimens.
