Vedolizumab is a humanized immunoglobin G1 monoclonal antibody that binds the gut homing receptor a4b7 integrin and inhibits its ability to bind mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1, which is expressed on the endothelium within the gut-associated lymphoid tissues and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN)[1]. Therefore, vedolizumab prevents lymphocytes from extravasating into gastrointestinal mucosal tissues and regional lymph nodes, thus attenuating intestinal inflammation [1]. The efficacy of vedolizumab for inflammatory bowel disease was demonstrated in patients with ulcerative colitis [2] and Crohn’s disease (CD)[3]. We describe a case of primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in which vedolizumab induced complete metabolic remission. A 59-year-old man with a 13-year history of ileal CD complained of abdominal pain. He had been treated with daily doses of 4 mg tacrolimus and 25 mg azathioprine for CD and maintained clinical remission for 4 years. Peroral double balloon enteroscopy demonstrated a large ulcerative lesion in the jejunum. Histopathological examination of forceps biopsy specimens revealed aggregation of large, atypical lymphocytes. These cells were diffusely positive for CD79a, BCL2, and MUM1, partially positive for CD20 and BCL6, and negative for CD10, CD138, and CD30 in immunohistochemical analysis, and negative for EBER-1 in in situ hybridization (Fig. 1 A). Flow cytometry indicated kappa light chain restriction. Abdominal computed tomography revealed swelling of the jejunal wall (Fig. 1 B upper panel, arrowheads) and regional MLN (Fig. 1 B upper panel, arrows). Positron emission tomographycomputed tomography showed strong fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the jejunal lesion (Fig. 1 B lower panel, arrow heads) and MLN (Fig. 1 B lower panel, arrow) without other disseminated lesions. Bone marrow biopsy was normal. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with DLBCL, not otherwise specified, and non-germinal center B-cell-like, stage II1, according to the Lugano classification. Tacrolimus and azathioprine for CD were discontinued, and treatment for DLBCL was started. He underwent first-line chemotherapy with six courses of ReCHOP, but did not achieve remission.
