“…Apart from that, Fujii et al demonstrated the compressibility of bowel lesion using ultrasound transducer to aid in differentiating gastrointestinal lymphoma from carcinoma. Compressibility was demonstrated in colorectal lymphoma which is absent in carcinoma [7].…”

Rectal lymphoma is a rare colorectal tumor with incidence of 0.2%-0.6%. We report a rare case of large rectal lymphoma. Our patient is a 48-year-old man, presented with 2 months history of per rectal bleed, altered bowel habits and weight loss. Clinical examination, computed tomography scan and initial endoscopic mucosal biopsy were indistinguishable from Rectal Carcinoma. With high level of suspicion, we resorted to full thickness punch biopsy in lithotomy position for a good tissue sample. Ultimately, an immunohistochemical study confirmed Diffuse Large B-cells Lymphoma (DLBCL). This case highlighted the importance of high level of suspicion for lymphoma when dealing with a rectal tumor. Accurate diagnosis of rectal lymphoma affects the treatment modalities and prognosis of the patient.

Objective: The purpose was to explore the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) multiplanar reconstruction technique in the diagnosis and clinicopathological analysis of gastrointestinal lymphoma (GIL). Methods: 82 GIL patients treated in our hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected as the experimental group of this study, and 82 patients with other gastrointestinal tumors diagnosed by pathology during the same period were selected as the control group. Both groups of patients were scanned by MSCT and analyzed by multiplanar reconstruction technique to compare the diagnostic results and clinicopathological indexes of the two groups. Results: The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT multiplanar reconstruction scanning was higher, with no statistical difference from that of pathological examination results (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the objective image noise of the experimental group was lower while the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was higher, with significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the CT reconstruction parameters of different tumor types and different clinical stages in the experimental group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: MSCT multiplanar reconstruction technique is effective in diagnosing GIL, and the CT reconstruction parameters have important guiding value for the differentiation of tumor tissue types and clinical stages. The technique enables the doctors to fully grasp the clinical manifestations of the disease and select appropriate therapeutic regimens, improving the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic effect of the disease, which is worthy of wide application and promotion in clinic.

Intestinal Ultrasound in Rare Gastrointestinal Diseases, Update, Part 2

et al. 2015

Intestinal ultrasound has become an established and valid diagnostic method for inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, appendicitis, bowel obstruction, perforation and intussusception. However, little is known about sonographic findings in other rarer intestinal diseases. Ultrasound may display the transformation of the intestinal wall from a normal to a pathological state both in inflammatory and neoplastic disease. Besides demonstrating the transmural aspect, it also shows the mesenteric reaction as well as complications such as fistula, abscesses, stenosis, or ileus. Furthermore, in some diseases intestinal ultrasound may serve as a diagnostic clue if typical patterns of the bowel wall and impaired peristalsis can be demonstrated. This may lead to an important reduction of invasive and expensive (follow-up) procedures. The information gained by ultrasound regarding intestinal disease, however, is as important and valid as e. g. in case of focal lesions of the liver. Serving as tertiary referral centers for a broad spectrum of intestinal diseases, we therefore report some aspects of ultrasound in patients with less often recognized diseases. The article is divided into two parts, the first focusing on examination techniques, infectious diseases and celiac sprue and the second on hereditary, vascular and neoplastic diseases and varia.
