Description

The gastrointestinal tract is the most frequent site of extranodal involvement by lymphoma and stomach is the most frequently involved. The incidence of gastric lymphoma appears to be rising as that of adenocarcinoma is declining. It produces a spectrum of radiologic appearances and its distinction from adenocarcinoma is difficult since their findings frequently overlap. The aim of this article is to present pictorially a spectrum of CT findings of the gastric lymphoma. (orig.)
