“…The finding of a multinodular colon on barium examination may present certain characteristic features which suggest the diagnosis of lymphoma, including: (1) variably sized, smooth, sessile nodules with an average diameter of 7 mm; (2) a cecal mass larger than 3 cm; (3) distortion of the haustra; (4) incomplete evacuation of barium; and (5) involvement of the stomach, small bowel, or spleen. Such features favor lymphoma over other considerations in the differential diagnosis such as gastrointestinal polyposis, benign lymphoid hyperplasia, and inflammatory bowel disease [21].…”

Primary lymphoma of the colon and rectum: CT and barium enema correlation

1993

This paper presents the computed tomographic (CT) and barium enema (BE) findings in seven patients with proven primary lymphoma of the colon and rectum. CT and BE examination are complimentary studies in the evaluation of primary lymphoma of the colorectum, and certain relevant findings may be missed when radiographic evaluation does not include both modalities. Both CT and barium studies are very accurate in detecting bulky endoexoenteric tumor masses, although CT may suggest features which can differentiate primary lymphoma from adenocarcinoma. The renal utility of obtaining both a CT and BE examination may lie more in diagnosing complications, such as fistula formation and in the evaluation of subtle infiltrative lesions. While CT is necessary for staging purposes, BE examination may be invaluable for detecting subtle mucosal filling defects which could be missed on CT.

“…Conglomerate cecal masses are more frequent in disseminated lymphoma than the polyposis syndrome [1,2,20]. Many specific histologic subtypes of lymphoma, such as mantle cell lymphoma, low-grade B-cell lymphoma arising from MALT, and conventional large cell lymphoma manifested as lymphomatous polyposis, have been reported [22,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34].…”

Primary colorectal lymphoma: spectrum of imaging findings with pathologic correlation

et al. 2002

Primary colorectal lymphoma is a very uncommon disease; therefore, it has received little attention in the radiology literature. Moreover, imaging features of newly described pathologic subtypes have not been reported such as low-grade B-cell lymphoma arising from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and peripheral T-cell lymphoma that involves colorectal area. We retrospectively reviewed double-contrast barium enema and CT scans in the patients with primary colorectal lymphoma. In this article the radiologic appearances of primary colorectal lymphoma are categorized into focal lesion and diffuse lesion. Focal lesion includes polypoid mass, circumferential infiltration with smooth mucosal surface, circumferential infiltration with extensive ulceration, cavitary mass, mucosal nodularity, and mucosal fold thickening. Diffuse lesion includes diffuse ulcerative lesion and diffuse nodular lesion. Peripheral T-cell lymphomas that involve the colon manifested as either a diffuse or focal segmental lesion and showed extensive mucosal ulceration. These findings are similar to those of Crohn's disease or tuberculous colitis and are different from those of previously reported colorectal lymphoma. Low-grade B-cell lymphoma arising from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue manifest as multiple mucosal nodularity. The imaging features of primary colorectal lymphoma are quite variable and overlap with other colonic pathology; however, it is important for radiologists to know the imaging features of primary colorectal lymphoma with their pathologic correlation.
