[Radiologic diagnosis of malignant lymphoma of the small intestine]

The authors observed 10 patients with malignant lymphoma revealed by x-ray; 2 of them were supposed to be afflicted with heavy alpha-chain disease with malignant transformation. An x-ray picture revealed a triad of pathognomonic symptoms and a regular parallelism of intestinal changes with clinico-laboratory findings. In all the cases the diagnosis was confirmed by morphological data.
