Primary extranodal NHL is most commonly primarily localized in the gastrointestinal tract. We present one unusual case of ileum FL with ascites as the first clinical sign. The 73-year-old female patient was presented to the emergency department for evaluation of mild abdominal pain and abdominal swelling that had been going on for three days followed by bloating and occasional pain in the spine. The abdominal contrast-enhanced CT revealed the contrast stagnation in the distal part of the ileum. The ileum wall about 11 cm in length was thickened up to 2.9 cm and the tumor mass infiltrated all layers of ileum mesenteric lymphadenopathy up to 2 cm in diameter and significant ascites. On the upper ileum wall, the vegetative mass was described 3 cm in diameter. The patient had an emergent laparotomy with the ileocolic resection and latero-lateral ileocolic anastomosis. The microscopy finding of terminal ileum and the regional lymph nodes showed domination of cleaved cells with irregular nuclei which correspond to centrocytes. There were 0\u201315 large non-cleaved cells corresponding to centroblast in the microscopy high-power field. The final diagnosis was follicular lymphoma, the clinical stage 2E and histological grade by Berard and Mann criteria 1\u20132.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58101381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,9]],"date-time":"2022-10-09T04:00:02Z","timestamp":1665288002000},"page":"1381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ascites as First Atypical and Only Clinical Manifestation of De Novo Follicular Lymphoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Natasa D.","family":"Zdravkovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Gastroenterohepatology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vesna M.","family":"Grbovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3213-1596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radisa H.","family":"Vojinovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Radiology, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Radiology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Radojica V.","family":"Stolic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Nephrology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jelena Z.","family":"Zivic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Gastroenterohepatology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mladen M.","family":"Maksic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Gastroenterohepatology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziva P.","family":"Zivic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Gastroenterohepatology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nebojsa V.","family":"Andjelkovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Hematology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9119-0692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milos Z.","family":"Zivic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Dentistry, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9989-5921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeljko D.","family":"Todorovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kragujevac, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinic of Hematology, University Clinical Center, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"329","DOI":"10.1007\/s40487-021-00161-5","article-title":"Early Relapse in First-Line Follicular Lymphoma: A Review of the Clinical Implications and Available Mitigation and Management Strategies","volume":"9","author":"Rodgers","year":"2021","journal-title":"Oncol.
