Introduction: Primary lymphoma of appendix is extremely rare. Most of them are diagnosed accidently from appendicectomy specimens removed for appendicitis. Case Report: We report a case of primary Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of appendix in a 58 year old female patient who presented with periumbilical pain in abdomen with history of weight loss. On the basis of radiological examination she was diagnosed as mucocele of appendix with soft tissue density of ileum. Right hemicolectomy was done and specimen was received for histopathlogical examination which revealed non Hodgkin’s lymphoma involving entire appendix. Conclusion: Primary appendiceal lymphoma is very rare and difficult to diagnose clinically. Histopathological examination of all appendicectomy specimens is essential for diagnosis and further management of patients.
