Abstract

Objective: To improve the accuracy rate of 16-detector row CT in diagnosing small intestinal lymphoma. Methods: The 16-detector row CT findings in 11 cases of small intestinal lymphoma proved by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively. The main reconstruction techniques were multiplanar reformation(MPR) and maximum intensity projection(MIP). Results: The most frequent location of the diseases was at ileum(8/11). The main signs were bowel-wall thickening(n=7), 5 of the 7 cases showed aneurysmal sign. Four cases showed luminal polypoid mass, 6 cases were found to have mesenteric lymph nodes, 3 of the 6 cases showed “sandwich” sign. Two cases were combined with intussusception and ileus. Two cases showed other organs involved. Conclusion: The CT finds of small intestinal lymphoma were definitely characteristic, 16-detector row CT and reconstructions had important value in diagnosing small intestinal lymphoma.
