Introduction

Overview

Overview

Other diagnostic studies for MALT lymphoma include barium studies and PET scan. Barium contrast studies of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, or the colon may be performed to demonstrate any filling defect in the barium flow which denotes to the presence of any infiltrative mass due to MALT lymphoma.[1] FDG-PET scan may be helpful in diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of MALT lymphoma.[2][3]
