Clinical Presentation: A case of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in a patient with ulcerative colitis (UC) is described. The patient was a 74-year-old male treated with mesalamine for ulcerative colitis (UC) for the past 6 years. He was admitted due to COVID-19 and anemia secondary to hematochezia. The patient underwent total colectomy with end ileostomy, with intraoperative proctoscopy, with gross findings indicative of ulcerative colitis. Tissue biopsy, however, demonstrated atypical lymphoid proliferation with histologic findings suggestive of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Colorectal lymphoma accounts for less than 1% of all large intestinal malignancies. Due to its rarity, lymphoid neoplasms occurring in the context of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are poorly known.
