In this study, we aimed to examine the clinical, radiological, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and prognostic features of a case series undergoing surgery for non-Hodgkin's primary colon lymphoma (NHL). ⋯ The overall and disease-free survival of the patient with T-cell lymphoma was shorter than that of patients with B-cell colon lymphoma. NHL is a rare disease. The cellular subtype effectively determines the survival time and prognosis of NHL.
