Abstract:
Objective To investigate multi-slice spiral computer tomography(MSCT)images of gastrointestinal lymphoma.Methods MSCT data of 23 cases with primary gastrointestinal lymphoma verified by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results Non-Hodgkin'S lymphoma was confirmed in all of the 23 cases.For all of the cases a B-cell origin was in 22 cases and a T-cell origin in 1 case localized in transverse colon.CT images of gastric lymphoma included three kinds:diffuse thickening(n=13,81.2%),segmental thickening(n=2,12.5%),and mass(n=1,6.3%).Median thickness of gastric wall was 3.3cm (0.6～6.8 cm).CT scan of intestinal lymphoma showed irregular thickening of intestinal wall,and mass was visualized in I case of ileum lymphoma and I case of ileocecal lymphoma.Median thickness of intestinal wall was 2.8cm(0～7.0 cm).Of all the cases lesions appeared a common density by conventional CT scan,and low or moderate intensification by contrast-enhanced CT. Conclusions With its character-istic information MSCT remains the method of choice for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal lymphoma.
