Abstract

Paraneoplastic gastrointestinal dysmotility is a rare entity which occurs in association with malignancy. We present the second case associated with lymphoma, characterised by generalised gastrointestinal dysmotility with constipation, malnutrition, weight loss, and capsule endoscope retention. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for malignancy in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal dysmotility.
