Abstract:
The new classification of primary lymphomas of the stomach according to the MALT concept is very promising in therapy planning and prognostic estimation. This new classification sets strict requirements for imaging diagnostics. Besides endosonography which allows the determination of the infiltration depth in stages E I1 and E I2 in an excellent manner, computed tomography and, possibly, magnetic resonance tomography are indispensible for evaluation of higher stages and of the resectability of a lymphoma. Further MRI examinations are recommended.
