Acute perforated appendicitis
is a very rare initial presentation of appendiceal lymphoma. A case of primary lymphoma of the appendix in a 42-year-old female is reported here.

Grossly, the resected appendix was gangrenous and perforated. Light microscopy revealed transmural infiltration by diffuse large
B-cell lymphoma
