The stomach is the most common site for GI lymphoma, mostly non-Hodgkin (i.e. mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT] lymphoma).

CT
• Thickened gastric folds or solitary mass, multiple masses or polyps.
• May cause linitis plastica.
• Gastric wall may be thicker than is seen with gastric carcinoma.
• Check for involvement of the duodenum (unlike gastric cancer).
• Tends to metastasise to the liver first, then the mesentery.
• Larger nodes than with gastric cancer.
• Useful for follow-up to assess response to treatment/disease recurrence.
